The podcast Guiding Growth: Conversations with Community Leaders from the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce, event and meeting venue Modern Moments and the Gilbert Independent/yourvalley.net explores the human journey of leaders. There are stories of humility, triumph, roadblocks, and lessons learned. This partial transcript of the most recent podcast with Cindy Packard has been edited for brevity and clarity.
Cindy Packard and her husband, Blair, are the founders of Care for Life, an NGO in Africa that for the past 24 years has seen unprecedented success in alleviating suffering, promoting self-reliance and instilling hope for those families and villages living in extreme poverty.
Packard helped research and create a unique program using local people to offer comprehensive training and mentoring in health and hygiene, sanitation, food security, home improvement, income generation, literacy, psycho-social well-being, and community participation.
