Living #abroad led me to consider how thoughts on #progress differ between development workers and the people they serve. Progress happens when people understand each other, which may look like moving forward toward a goal or may look like turning backward to better grasp a situation before solving it. . … I want to have an #international impact, but I want to create #community wherever I go – not just to move from place to place but to actually grow roots where I’m working. I want my work to serve the goals of my peers and the people and communities it is intended to benefit. — Mark Watson #NCState20
