John Amat
It's most important now to help build a more educated, self-sufficient people. It's an incredibly tense time in Pakistan. This is our best opportunity.

It's a new beginning in a new region in Pakistan.
Maryanne Havryluck
'The Water Was Our Highway' is the name of my presentation, but we've got to get rid of the past tense.
