Sara Harris

Sara Harris Hello CLP people. I'm in Istanbul, too. I'm a radio journalist from Los Angeles and Mexico who is now getting an M.A. specializing in ecology and migration and would like to connect here. Do you know where the alternative events are? Some of this conversation is either really earnest or totally official and evasive.

Wendy

Wendy I am a big fan of C.L.P. for what you do. It's great that you give a big voice to those who cannot or will not be heard. Your Kibera: Not a Drop to Drink is a classic, brilliant piece. I hope many are listening beyond the static of our own lives.
