Tena yistilign! I’m kicking off a special trip through Ethiopia and Guatemala, and I’m excited to bring you along.
I’m traveling here to learn about the fundamentals of extreme poverty and smart development — and to scout locations for a new one-hour public television special about world hunger. I plan to return to film the show in April, and then release it about a year from now. All along, I’ll be connecting with smart and passionate people working on the ground in the developing world, where economies are kindling like never before. (And I’ll also be getting to know regular people, like these two delightful school girls in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, who showed me, in an unforgettable way, the fruits of a developing nation that is committed to providing education for all its children.)
There’s a lot to learn and a lot to share, so stay tuned for much more over the next few weeks.
