Why
The leitmotif of my work is a dedication to concrete action to remedy the ills of inequality and social exclusion. This interest is at the center of my personal and professional life. I believe that ameliorating the status of the world’s neediest and marginalised is the central challenge and imperative of our era. We cannot insulate ourselves from global realities, nor can we abdicate our responsibility to help and protect one another.
