We need money to scale up the services that bring medicine to mothers. The United States government's doing that. There's a global fund that's providing money. mothers2mothers provides for mothers who come in who don't have education, who don't have support. mothers2mothers employs mothers with HIV, mothers who were patients recently in the very same facilities. We take those mothers who were patients who've had their babies, we bring them back, we train them, we pay them, to be health care professionals.

I think that you can only be true to yourself. Nobody can live up to other people's expectations. You will always let them down. There will always be something they won't like about you.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
You have to be quite grounded, and I don't know what that is. Sometimes, that means being vulnerable.

The momentum of time is always going forward. You cannot repeat what has been done before. You can't go back.

When I was younger I wish I'd known that what often seemed to be the 'end of the world' often turned out to be a positive and transformative experience!

I think the whole experience of being a human being on the planet is such a mystery, to be honest. Trying to figure out one's purpose and asking "What is it all about?"

In memory, you can access something from the past, anything that you've experienced that you remember - it's there.

But all of us are just all caught in this time, whatever that is.

Christmas Day is on the 25 December. Peace Day has been established by the United Nations on the 21 September, and the whole world is invited to participate.
