What do YOU think?

I love the video below, because it captures something of the struggle I have with some of the stereotypes around Africa. Stereotypes not only of famine and war and flies in their eyes, but stereotypes of helping, too. Of what aid is, what missions is, what development is -- and what they can do.

There are so many boxes: Here's what I can do. Here's what I can't.

Well, here's to a "new conversation."
