“Respect and trust is not the given right of any development organisation or aid worker. Good intentions, financial support or innovative ideas are not enough. Sharing unreservedly of one’s knowledge, skills and experience will begin to pave the way. Enquiring, listening, adapting with empathy and enthusiasm leads to mutual understanding. Dedication, love and true concern open the door to cooperation and respect which culminates in effectiveness. There is no short cut, there is no other way.“
