- Start with Luo
- Turn to person Shake hand Call and response Me – who I am. WISER, WISERBridge Co-Founder, Current Job
- One facet of development = education; selfishly want all of you to pursue careers in education What ed means to me UN officials may argue that their cause is the greatest – I disagree

- Pick one – if time, talk about
