Kristin's TEDx talk:

Great Video

A partner of ours, Steven Wrigley of Global Outreach, posted this video...we love it and hope you do too. It shows how culture and experience colors all of our lives. At Grow.Learn.Give. we understand that we can't take our Western ideas and simply transport them to another country and culture. We rely on local people who best understand what will work.

Phrases

One of us saw this wonderful phrase the other day, and we all fell in love with it!

Through experience we learn to grow,
in growing we learn to give,
in giving we learn to love and
in loving we learn the real essence of life.

We'd love to come up with our own-- leave a comment if you have any good ideas!
