“Adults are so impactful because they're passionate about what they do. And they know the meaning behind their work. The more you know the purpose of your whole job and if you know the purpose of you as a person, that's how you're goanna know how to help everybody.”

— Margarida Celestino

Karen and Margarida each share some of what stood out to them as big ideas and new learnings.
