“In China, relationship is the heart of all activities. As a foreigner, and particularly working in Beijing, it takes a very long time to evolve those relationships. I need to keep myself involved in the projects, but the involvement is different here. What does it mean to empower others? The question that faces me most is how to stay involved but not in charge…”

“For the most part, the Flow Fund is an easy, gentle thing that unfolds in its own time and in its own way.

And, of course, it always does. So faith and patience are the most important practices for me in this work.”
