Exciting developments for foreign aid reform have happened in Washington, DC, this week—largely because of the persistent advocacy of Bread for the World’s grassroots network. Officials are starting to take notice. Yesterday, Senator John Kerry made an important speech calling for the comprehensive reform of foreign aid. He announced his plans to introduce a companion bill to the House’s Initiating Foreign Assistance Reform Act of 2009 (H.R. 2139) in the Senate. The Obama administration has begun to weigh in on the issue as well.
I’m an author, mom, speaker, & activist. I wrote the book “From Changing Diapers to Changing the World: Why Moms Make Great Advocates & How to Get Started.” My insights are seen through the lens of motherhood and a desire to help moms uplift each other to make a better world for our kids.
