You’re a force of nature @khoureld. I learned so much watching you in action in Ethiopia when I first arrived in the region and I can’t wait to see what the other side looks like. ❤️
Katharine Houreld@khoureld

To those kind, strong, determined, courageous people I interviewed or worked with over the years: you will always inspire me. To every stranger who helped: thank you. To the arms dealers, liars, thieves, killers of children: I’m keeping my files. See you all on the other side.
