Like many poor people the world over, Toutane Diagne has seen aid projects with grand ambitions come to her village, only to close up shop and leave before their goals were accomplished.
But Madame Toutane says that CREATE! is different.
She says that this is not the first time the people in her village have tried to work together to solve problems, but that in the past "we tried but stopped because of lack of resources."
She goes on to say, "When you came, we were hesitant at first, but then we realized that your project was different. And we were not wrong. Thanks to your action, we are harvesting. Now our aim is to grow all kinds of trees and vegetables. And we know that we will succeed, because CREATE! is showing us how to help ourselves in small ways. We know that anything is possible."
