"...  I also enjoyed the opportunity to have a discussion with a group of women entrepreneurs... who are being featured in a little video made for a contest that the United States State Department is running seeking interesting projects around the world. This project from Israel discusses a supportive community that helps women become entrepreneurs, particularly immigrant women, women from the former Soviet Union, women from Ethiopia and elsewhere.

  As we discuss the critical issues of our time, it’s also important to remember why we do this.  It is to provide the people... with a chance to fulfill their own dreams, to live lives in safety and security, and to be given the opportunity to fulfill their own God-given potential."
