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.
The ONE Blog is a daily log of the anti-poverty movement. The site is operated by ONE staff, with frequent contributions from volunteers, members and partner organizations.
The ONE Blog updates readers daily with the latest in global development news and analysis and what ONE members and our partners are doing around the world to influence world leaders in the fight against global poverty.
The content of each post and each comment represents the views of that author and does not necessarily reflect the views of ONE or ONE Action. ONE does not support or oppose any candidate for elected office, and any post expressing support or opposition for a candidate is not endorsed by ONE.
