We have shared a journey very similar to yours. For us, the closure of USAID led us into a difficult period of survival and reinvention. On top of that came disappointment with partners and a sense of abandonment by our government—all within just a few months. And yet, we survived. We even expanded our dreams. It feels as though we would never have discovered this new path without the crisis itself. Please keep writing. You put words to thoughts and feelings that so many of us carry but struggle to express—and you do it so beautifully.
Your passion and dedication are a beacon. And yes, your purpose beyond the business and to the people is what makes you unique. So glad you stayed!
