Summary: Born in South Africa, Warren has spent most of his life traveling the world working over 30 years on 5 continents in 39 countries, gaining a deep understanding of cultures. He has learned that no matter how different every culture may be, it defines what is important by the same things: security; family; health and harmony among their peoples. My Arms Wide Open first identifies the specific needs of each community. What follows is the creation of a set of terms that both – the organization and the people – understand. Warren shares the effort that goes into developing a long term relationship with communities, whether it is through gardening, or changing perspectives of the locals, or setting up a business that employs more people. The key to getting people involved is to get them engaged in their own community. To connect with our own reality means to understand that our problems are not all that different. Your experiences might be similar to those of children in Africa. http://www.MyArmsWideOpen.org
