There is always much talk about 'unconditional love, but how often do we actually experience it either personally or observe it directed towards others? Whether towards his lovely daughter, or towards everyone he comes in contact with, Harry's every interaction with others is based on love with absolutely no strings attached. What a powerful and potentially empowering experience it is to be a part of. You can see not only in Harry's actions but also in the love reflected back to him by the many, many individuals and families he has connected with. What a gift it is to live this experience!

This has been a wonderful experience, working with missionary Harry and being part of his community development and social inclusion project has been a great challenge for me. The children and youths I interacted with were very kind, cheerful, and eager to learn, including his beautiful daughter Hannah. We formed a small family by sharing what each of us knows how to do; enjoying walks, meals, and unique get-togethers. The village is small but very rich in nature.
