A meeting of entrepreneurial minds?  Peter Jones and Peter Bailey

I was indifferent to global affairs

I was able to turn off the adverts for developing countries

I was blissfully unaware

I was safe in my own life

I am awake

I am listening

I am seeing

I am hearing

I will tell of the social projects I saw

Of the poverty I witnessed

Of the passion and motivation of the people I met

Of the communities I witnessed

And the lives I shared

I am thoughtful and ambitious and want to be a part of the world I saw.
