When I think of injustices that may have occurred through lack of knowledge and training…
When I listen to the Ignite training and think of injustices that may have occurred through lack of knowledge and training, I can only wonder what unfortunate outcomes may have occurred. Thanks to Ignite, I pray those injustices are never repeated. Ignite teaches others to do great things when they can.
