Irene Sebastian-Waweru

Facilitator – Africa

I believe service to humanity is service to God. I am driven by the hope in what we can achieve as individuals and collectively as communities in restoring, building and caring for our home, our peoples and the future generations. I love the saying by Archbishop Desmond Tutu; “Do your little bit of good wherever you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world,” which drives me to utilize my skills and experience to serve.
