Trace Foundation President Andrea E. Soros gives first interview with the Chinese media.
Trace Foundation President Andrea E. Soros has given her first interview with the Chinese media. The interview, which appears in the 13th March issue of Southern People's Daily, took place during the Foundation head's visit to Beijing to participate in the 2008 China Charity Gala Dinner organized by the Ministry of Civil Affair at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. During the interview Ms. Soros stressed the importance of the work of the Foundation and its approach, focusing on flexible solutions and local conditions. She further stated her view that the Foundation is not a charity, but rather a development organization, devoted to bringing people together to work towards a better future. In today's world, where we are all so closely connected, where we choose to work together or not will affect not only our future but can directly affect lives or others. It is important for society that we cultivate the side of us that wants to reach out and bridge divides.
