“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” — African proverb
Relationship is powerful. When we use our connections for the benefit of those we serve, we can have a much greater impact. We are creating space to listen to each other and to learn from each other’s experience and expertise. We’re all in this work together.
