BP:Please share your final word and what keeps you motivated to keep doing what you do.

DB:What motivates me and inspires me is to take social development to another level. We don’t want to give people a fish; we want to teach them how to fish. We want to give them equity in the pond. Because when you have equity in the pond, you are able to make decisions about your future. I don’t want to be about ‘charity’, I want to be about ‘empowerment’. I believe that will create real social development that brings about real change in a sustainable way.
