"Those living in poverty today are my teachers. They have taught me more about the strength of the human spirit than any classroom ever did. They have shown me the true meaning of trust, hope, and grit...they tap a deep well of resolve and believe in better tomorrows. People like me are often recognized for our work, but they are the true heroes. I view myself and others as conduits to amplify their voices. We have much to emulate and learn from the communities we serve. We serve to gain so much more than we put in." — Sachi Shenoy
