I may be prejudiced, since Lise Abazs is my niece. I liked David the moment I met him, and found the boys (as quite young ones, when I saw them) to be unusually nice, and talented. This interview kept me listening to the end. Well done! What great work that family has been doing for 20 years - puts the rest of us to shame.

Love hearing how people are making a difference on the planet. David is an innovator and I look forward to hearing more while they take their trip. Good interviewer!
