Big ASANTE SANA to Ali Skanda for meeting us for this epic informational gathering and Brainstorming Session. While he had other meetings in town, Katharina, Davina and many others were available to all our questions, seed-planting and clarifications of many of the dynamic and revolutionary processes in, as Mary says, “Turning Garbage into Gold.”
