I think when you’ve travelled around a lot in Africa, you understand something that many people here don’t recognize: the extraordinary power that is Africa at village level - at community level.
Stephen Lewis

This is one of my favorite quotes after spending four years in Africa. The community spirit is so unique and powerful for every member in the group. You have to see it to understand it.
