A Surprise Video by Some Awardees: We Love It!

Reflections from Skoll 2011 Alumni from Water For People on Vimeo.

 Surprises are always fun. Unbeknownst to us, last year’s Skoll Awardees created a “reflections” video for us at the most recent Skoll World Forum. In it, they share the impact the honor has had on their lives, what it means to be part of the Skoll “family,” and the credibility they have gained because of the Skoll  Award. Their words are touching and inspiring.

“You are willing to dream and think big,” said Ned Breslin of Water for People. Rebecca Onie said that being part of the Skoll community helps remind her that “even though the work is impossibly hard, we are on the road with people who genuinely want to stand with us.”

Thanks to Breslin, Ellen Moir, Madhav Chavan and Onie for this sweet surprise.
