In this episode, we had the honor of sharing a conversation with Jeffrey and Stephanie, a married couple who live on an island near Seattle.
Jeffrey has his master's and a Ph.D. in agriculture and has been working in food security in Sub-Saharan Africa for over 20 years. He has found that our humanity comes before our agendas, that we must connect as people before we work together, and that laughter, tears, and sighs bring us together in times of joy and sorrow. He is currently the program coordinator for an agricultural development project at the World Food Program and works in Togo and Ethiopia and remotely from an island near Seattle.
Stephanie has her master's in animal science and her doctorate in veterinary medicine. She's been a veterinarian since 1993 and blends her technical skills with compassion and sensitivity to do what is best for animals and their owners. When not caring for animals, she volunteers at a local nonprofit that supports senior citizens and at a nonprofit called Reading with Rover that helps kids gain confidence in reading by bringing her dog Kip to libraries and classrooms so that kids feel relaxed. Stephanie and Jeffrey were co-directors of a health center in Ethiopia from 2002 to 2004 and started and continue to operate a nonprofit called the Ethiopian Education Fund that enables girls and boys in Ethiopia to complete their education.
