Can you explain what drew you to this project, and what excites you most about it? GUEST: I've always been passionate about empowering communities to drive sustainable change.

I can imagine there must be challenges when it comes to implementing these ideas. Can you share some of the biggest hurdles you've encountered while working on such projects? GUEST: Definitely.
