“My
visit to Kenya also made a difference for me in how I feel as a person. I felt
so connected; our human experience and roots being so similar, we could
identify to all the issues at stake. I was also inspired by the
refreshing level of humanity and strength of many of the people we met. In
a world in which trends are often governed by superficial matters, we need such
contacts in our fight for the prevalence of equity en justice. Being in Kenya
was like being continuously watered in fountain of inspirational individual and
collective stories.” — Caroline Hudicourt, HCFI Steering Committee Member
