With more time to kill before we start the show, I walked around and met a few more ONE members.

Anamica Bed is from Columbia Heights in Minnesota. She joined ONE back in 2005 and found out about the training from an email.

Martin Russell is a pastor from Omaha, Nebraska and another ONE Scholar! Through his work he has been working in Tanzania and the issues ONE fights for align perfectly with Martin’s work and beliefs.

Michael Lawyer is a ONE member from Minneapolis. When he heard the training was right in his backyard, he knew he had to come.

I also ran into Monét Cooper setting up some materials. Mónet is the blogger at Jubilee(!) and will be speaking today about debt in developing countries.
