Tony Rinaudo – Pioneer of FMNR (Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration) technique, testifies on the work of Bishop Simon Chiwanga – Retired Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Mpwapwa, Tanzania and Founder of LEAD Foundation NGO. Tony was in Germany recently speaking at a Willow Creek Global Leadership forum before 10,000 people when he was asked about how FMNR spreads, and decided to share a short story about Bishop Chiwanga and how he inspires others across Tanzania.

Mr. Rinaudo, on a separate occasion sent a message to LEAD praising what has been achieved by the team in such a short time is simply amazing and uplifting. He encouraged the LEAD Foundation team to keep up the good work for the sake of Tanzania – and the world.

He ended up his message by quoting the words of Margaret Mead:

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
