Why it Matters?
One year ago, USAID as many of us knew it began to unravel, marking the end of an era that shaped careers, families, and communities around the world.
Were you USAID staff, a contractor, implementing partner, beneficiary, or family member affected by the closing of USAID?
What are your memories?Looking back, what stories can you share about the most inspiring, prideful, challenging, and even humorous moments that made your experience uniquely yours? Think about the relationships formed between people and between nations. The sacrifices made. The communities built. And what are your hopes and concerns for the future of international development?
