What People are saying about us....

Dear Fatimah, You are such an inspiration. One of my students stayed after class to talk about you and admire all you have accomplished. He was saying how as he follows global leaders as they try to address hunger-- they keep trotting out ideas--but nothing that comes directly from the community like your vision!  He sees you as someone who should be leading the UN Global initiatives!  Ha!  You will never be able to retire! Thanks again for coming to my class. Your passion is contagious and the students walked away very inspired.  I look forward to coming out to the café to enjoy the space. Let me know a good time to come.
