We want to thank you for your support as we journeyed through a spectacular and profound experience in Uganda. Our love for and memories of Karamoja will last the rest of our lives, and we look forward to returning one day.
While on an overnight bus ride between Uganda and Kenya three weeks before returning home, Pearce wrote a commentary on the desperate need for listening to one another in America and around the world. His thoughts have since been printed in dozens of newspapers across the United States with over a million readers. Still in Africa, Pearce wanted to find a way to translate those words into action and make a tangible impact on societal discourse.
From Tanzania, we launched the non profit Listen First Project to facilitate greater understanding, respect and cooperation by encouraging the timeless but abandoned practice of listening to each other, regardless of politics, religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education or any other distinction. We believe in the power of listening to transform our discourse and change the world.
Listen First Project has rapidly grown into an active movement with a global leadership team and tremendous promise for affecting transformative change, one conversation at a time. We want to invite you to continue the journey with us beyond Uganda and check out Listen First Project.
Gratefully,
Pearce & Chrissy Godwin
