Elizabeth and I work for the same company, however we've only met once when she was in Toronto for a workshop. My soon-to-be room-mate for three weeks and I have spent many hours on the phone planning and strategizing about our upcoming trip and our fundraising efforts. As it turns out, we share the same passion and goals for empowering people to be the best they can be, attain their dreams, and be sustainable and self-reliant. It's an honour to have the opportunity to share this experience with someone who is passionate, driven, compassionate, and dedicated to improving people's lives. And, I have to admit, she is quite patient with me!
Why is this type of trip important to Elizabeth, "the difference for her is the vision for changing to self-sustainability and create value for Rwandan entrepreneurs."
We are equally as excited (and somewhat scared) about this journey, but most importantly we're both dedicated to making it a success for the entrepreneurs that Global Relief and Development Partners work with.
