1
00:00:03.590 --> 00:00:08.510
Sheva Carr: Welcome to this very special members.

2
00:00:08.630 --> 00:00:13.980
Sheva Carr: gathering of hard ambassadors, and… Special invitees.

3
00:00:14.130 --> 00:00:19.340
Sheva Carr: Including our… Science-Based Hope for Happiness team.

4
00:00:21.980 --> 00:00:25.369
Sheva Carr: We are going to start with a heart lock-in.

5
00:00:25.550 --> 00:00:30.520
Sheva Carr: 2… Embrace our special guest.

6
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.470
Sheva Carr: In love and connection.

7
00:00:36.890 --> 00:00:40.619
Sheva Carr: Which is really the spirit of what she's sharing anyway.

8
00:00:42.380 --> 00:00:45.570
Sheva Carr: As hard ambassadors, our service work.

9
00:00:46.830 --> 00:00:53.929
Sheva Carr: It's not really us helping the world, it's us Connecting to the world.

10
00:00:55.820 --> 00:01:01.050
Sheva Carr: Because we know that intimacy… Is a key to happiness.

11
00:01:04.050 --> 00:01:08.900
Sheva Carr: And that service that facilitates Connection.

12
00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:19.400
Sheva Carr: Grows us as well as those we serve.

13
00:01:21.650 --> 00:01:25.219
Sheva Carr: We definitely don't have a savior complex around here.

14
00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:33.170
Sheva Carr: We know, in all the ways and places we help others, we benefit just as much.

15
00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:39.160
Sheva Carr: So this is a sneak peek for those in the happiness class.

16
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:47.120
Sheva Carr: Of the final key.

17
00:01:53.170 --> 00:01:59.050
Sheva Carr: Which is that when… Your life… is about…

18
00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:04.940
Sheva Carr: Caring for each other and the world.

19
00:02:06.290 --> 00:02:11.899
Sheva Carr: When you add service… To your life.

20
00:02:12.670 --> 00:02:15.699
Sheva Carr: Happiness finds you, you don't need to look for it.

21
00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:25.660
Sheva Carr: Not the service that's saving, that's martyring.

22
00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:30.690
Sheva Carr: That does not yield happiness, in case you're wondering.

23
00:02:35.010 --> 00:02:38.260
Sheva Carr: But this service that's connecting and loving.

24
00:02:39.660 --> 00:02:41.479
Sheva Carr: And builds intimacy.

25
00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:45.640
Sheva Carr: At this stuff.

26
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.709
Sheva Carr: Of reality and your own being.

27
00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:57.550
Sheva Carr: And so we are going to focus attention in the area around the heart.

28
00:02:59.430 --> 00:03:01.149
Sheva Carr: The chest area.

29
00:03:04.010 --> 00:03:07.099
Sheva Carr: Imagine the breath is flowing.

30
00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:10.999
Sheva Carr: In through the heart, and out through the heart.

31
00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:17.699
Sheva Carr: Breathing a little slower, a little deeper than usual.

32
00:03:20.730 --> 00:03:25.960
Sheva Carr: If you find it helpful, you can count as you breathe in.

33
00:03:28.700 --> 00:03:31.590
Sheva Carr: And count as you breathe out.

34
00:03:31.980 --> 00:03:35.510
Sheva Carr: On whatever rhythm works for your body.

35
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:44.079
Sheva Carr: Inviting the inhale and the exhale to be even in length.

36
00:03:49.950 --> 00:03:54.220
Sheva Carr: And with that heart focused, Breathing.

37
00:04:01.180 --> 00:04:02.440
Sheva Carr: Activate.

38
00:04:02.690 --> 00:04:07.759
Sheva Carr: Love and connection, and radiate that to Marilyn.

39
00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:14.570
Sheva Carr: Give her some ease. She's with loved ones here, not judges.

40
00:04:16.450 --> 00:04:21.750
Sheva Carr: This isn't the American Idol contest of presenting what I did for my summer vacation.

41
00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:33.519
Sheva Carr: There will not be any golden buzzer. She's already got the golden buzzer, but there won't be big X's that go…

42
00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:48.599
Sheva Carr: And let's also radiate love and connection to the hundreds of lives that are impacted by our community's work in Zimbabwe.

43
00:04:52.990 --> 00:04:54.719
Sheva Carr: And we'll rest.

44
00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:59.420
Sheva Carr: In this… Care focus together.

45
00:05:00.780 --> 00:05:02.260
Sheva Carr: Or 5 minutes.

46
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:41.380
Sheva Carr: Well, that's a very good moment to pause and listen.

47
00:11:44.890 --> 00:11:48.259
Sheva Carr: Do your heart's intuitive guidance.

48
00:11:51.730 --> 00:11:54.910
Sheva Carr: Or anything your heart wants you to know.

49
00:11:58.510 --> 00:12:02.070
Sheva Carr: At the heart of post-traumatic growth.

50
00:12:05.020 --> 00:12:09.480
Sheva Carr: Is the capacity to take your own pain.

51
00:12:11.550 --> 00:12:15.020
Sheva Carr: And turn it into greater compassion.

52
00:12:17.170 --> 00:12:19.340
Sheva Carr: And service to others.

53
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:32.529
Sheva Carr: And when you do… Everything makes sense in your rearview mirror in a totally different way.

54
00:12:33.430 --> 00:12:36.320
Sheva Carr: It's like you get a Willy Wonka rearview mirror.

55
00:12:37.790 --> 00:12:40.570
Sheva Carr: And everything looks different behind you.

56
00:12:42.890 --> 00:12:44.650
Sheva Carr: The question came up.

57
00:12:46.530 --> 00:12:57.109
Sheva Carr: On the Friday Q&A, don't I have to share all the things that happened in my past to heal them? But how can I do it? I don't have time, there's not enough years left in my life.

58
00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.780
Sheva Carr: To process all the years of trauma.

59
00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:05.459
Sheva Carr: Just get a Willy Wonka rearview mirror, or a heart-based one.

60
00:13:06.950 --> 00:13:09.379
Sheva Carr: And everything in it looks different.

61
00:13:10.390 --> 00:13:11.660
Sheva Carr: Instantly.

62
00:13:12.920 --> 00:13:15.499
Sheva Carr: From the happiness operating system.

63
00:13:20.520 --> 00:13:25.579
Sheva Carr: And with that, I'm going to pass the baton to Ms. Marilyn.

64
00:13:26.510 --> 00:13:29.770
Sheva Carr: to take us with her to Zimbabwe.

65
00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:37.019
Marilyn Barrett: Alright, here we go.

66
00:13:42.990 --> 00:13:44.760
Marilyn Barrett: Alright, where'd it go?

67
00:13:47.940 --> 00:13:49.440
Marilyn Barrett: Anything on the documents?

68
00:13:55.970 --> 00:14:05.729
Sheva Carr: For those on the phone, which is the majority of our group, Marilyn is about to share a video, and she's working out her tech, so we're all gonna send her some heart.

69
00:14:07.060 --> 00:14:10.690
Marilyn Barrett: It was… I had it all ready, so I gotta go back and…

70
00:14:10.970 --> 00:14:13.079
Marilyn Barrett: Get it pulled up. I'll be right back.

71
00:14:14.810 --> 00:14:18.600
Sheva Carr: But the most important place to go back to is where, Miss Marilyn?

72
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:19.510
Marilyn Barrett: The heart.

73
00:14:23.050 --> 00:14:25.200
Sheva Carr: Ding ding ding, ding.

74
00:14:31.140 --> 00:14:32.220
Marilyn Barrett: There it is.

75
00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:46.819
Marilyn Barrett: Did I lose our Zoom? No, I don't think so. Am I still on?

76
00:14:49.410 --> 00:14:50.219
Sheva Carr: Yeah, you're still in.

77
00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:51.080
Marilyn Barrett: Yes.

78
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:51.680
Melinda Dewey: Yes.

79
00:14:52.520 --> 00:14:53.950
Marilyn Barrett: Alright, let's try again.

80
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.849
Marilyn Barrett: There it is. Is that it? Nope.

81
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.890
Marilyn Barrett: Oh, you know, maybe this went into,

82
00:15:23.890 --> 00:15:25.749
Marilyn Barrett: Alright, I pulled it up from here.

83
00:15:26.110 --> 00:15:28.990
Marilyn Barrett: So it should go on. Why isn't it showing?

84
00:15:29.710 --> 00:15:30.560
Marilyn Barrett: Click that.

85
00:15:36.140 --> 00:15:38.610
Sheva Carr: I have a suggestion, Marilyn.

86
00:15:38.610 --> 00:15:39.160
Marilyn Barrett: Yeah.

87
00:15:39.160 --> 00:15:43.250
Sheva Carr: Start with the video and all your technology stuff.

88
00:15:45.020 --> 00:15:48.689
Sheva Carr: Maybe just take a breath through your heart and share.

89
00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:51.210
Sheva Carr: From your heart. First.

90
00:15:52.420 --> 00:15:56.739
Sheva Carr: Something of the essence of your… your own journey with this.

91
00:15:59.880 --> 00:16:03.530
Sheva Carr: Love and connection to what you experienced.

92
00:16:10.690 --> 00:16:13.340
Marilyn Barrett: Well, post-travel.

93
00:16:14.530 --> 00:16:15.419
Marilyn Barrett: In June.

94
00:16:16.380 --> 00:16:17.170
Marilyn Barrett: It's hot.

95
00:16:17.290 --> 00:16:23.179
Marilyn Barrett: Join, see if I can see. Okay, yeah, Bob's gonna join on his computer and see if he can get it going.

96
00:16:25.090 --> 00:16:26.560
Marilyn Barrett: post-travel?

97
00:16:26.920 --> 00:16:32.919
Marilyn Barrett: Was a lot of preparation.

98
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:42.900
Marilyn Barrett: Things I hadn't done before, 5 or 6 vaccines, just to get ready for the trip.

99
00:16:44.980 --> 00:16:45.479
Sheva Carr: What is that?

100
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:46.240
Marilyn Barrett: unknowns.

101
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.670
Sheva Carr: Is that… that's pre-travel, before you left?

102
00:16:49.670 --> 00:16:50.909
Marilyn Barrett: Free travel, yeah.

103
00:16:53.910 --> 00:16:57.890
Marilyn Barrett: A flight delay, a 16-hour flight.

104
00:16:58.580 --> 00:17:04.510
Marilyn Barrett: We arrived in, Johannesburg, South Africa, first.

105
00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:10.140
Marilyn Barrett: Got a good night's sleep, which was already helpful, and…

106
00:17:10.859 --> 00:17:20.439
Marilyn Barrett: When we arrived in… at the airport in Zimbabwe, Easton had sent a friend of his who works at the airport to meet us.

107
00:17:21.089 --> 00:17:25.920
Marilyn Barrett: The moment we stepped off the plane, he showed a picture. He said, is this you?

108
00:17:26.520 --> 00:17:37.639
Marilyn Barrett: And he… Helped us effortlessly get through the airport. So, basically, the trip was… was…

109
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.879
Sheva Carr: Those who don't know, Easton is our…

110
00:17:41.110 --> 00:17:46.360
Sheva Carr: Heart Ambassador's Regional Director in Zimbabwe. He oversees

111
00:17:47.080 --> 00:17:50.870
Sheva Carr: our Fiera Foundation charitable programs there.

112
00:17:51.910 --> 00:17:55.399
Sheva Carr: And he's one of our HeartMath certified trainers.

113
00:17:56.660 --> 00:18:00.860
Sheva Carr: Doing amazing work as a hard ambassador in the world.

114
00:18:01.990 --> 00:18:07.200
Sheva Carr: And he's native to Zimbabwe, and his whole family lives there, and they're all involved.

115
00:18:07.970 --> 00:18:10.499
Sheva Carr: In our projects in different ways.

116
00:18:11.760 --> 00:18:15.689
Sheva Carr: His wife will let Marilyn say more, because she's been there.

117
00:18:16.760 --> 00:18:22.520
Marilyn Barrett: Wait, I'm gonna send Bob the link, because he's got the video also, and see if he can get it on his computer. There we go.

118
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:27.089
Marilyn Barrett: There we go.

119
00:18:31.230 --> 00:18:40.920
Marilyn Barrett: So, I think right from the start, I would say that The trip in general,

120
00:18:42.600 --> 00:18:46.189
Marilyn Barrett: If I had one or two words to describe it,

121
00:18:47.270 --> 00:18:52.430
Marilyn Barrett: It was… it had flow, it had connection, there was love.

122
00:18:52.620 --> 00:18:54.830
Marilyn Barrett: There was,

123
00:19:00.300 --> 00:19:02.770
Marilyn Barrett: Fun, laughter.

124
00:19:06.210 --> 00:19:09.200
Marilyn Barrett: Awakening awareness.

125
00:19:10.360 --> 00:19:14.410
Marilyn Barrett: I say that, kinesthetically, I got a,

126
00:19:15.010 --> 00:19:20.390
Marilyn Barrett: a better idea of what life looks like in Africa, because I was physically there, and

127
00:19:20.890 --> 00:19:23.450
Marilyn Barrett: Didn't have to have that way, but it was helpful.

128
00:19:30.430 --> 00:19:37.299
Sheva Carr: There was also a lot of fear associated with it. Do you want to share any of your fears that came up before and during?

129
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:42.570
Marilyn Barrett: Well, some of the fear was… was…

130
00:19:44.890 --> 00:19:48.900
Marilyn Barrett: All the vaccines that I was getting, there was fear there.

131
00:19:53.690 --> 00:20:03.219
Marilyn Barrett: And, one of our Dear Heart Ambassadors shared a… a, shared with me a way…

132
00:20:03.810 --> 00:20:06.630
Marilyn Barrett: To invite the vaccines to…

133
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:11.259
Marilyn Barrett: Do their high… you know, to their highest good, and that was super helpful.

134
00:20:11.370 --> 00:20:14.889
Marilyn Barrett: Before each one, I would… I would…

135
00:20:15.610 --> 00:20:28.720
Marilyn Barrett: I would use that meditation, and it was very helpful, and I literally had no side effects. Maybe a little inflammation at times, but basically no side effects from 5 or 6 vaccines.

136
00:20:28.850 --> 00:20:34.419
Marilyn Barrett: When we first arrived, the culture shock was frightening to me.

137
00:20:34.620 --> 00:20:36.260
Marilyn Barrett: It was so different.

138
00:20:38.540 --> 00:20:41.650
Marilyn Barrett: And…

139
00:20:41.930 --> 00:20:52.760
Marilyn Barrett: we had actually been kind of schooled. Somebody had shared with us that it was going to be a culture shock and explained it, and… and it was.

140
00:20:53.220 --> 00:21:01.800
Marilyn Barrett: in the first night, I messaged a thread with a number of hard ambassadors that were on… on the thread,

141
00:21:03.430 --> 00:21:06.329
Marilyn Barrett: And I… I just… I asked for heart.

142
00:21:07.890 --> 00:21:16.330
Marilyn Barrett: And I breathed in love, and I, you know, I used my tools that night, and there was a very… I felt like there was a…

143
00:21:18.470 --> 00:21:19.790
Marilyn Barrett: A big shift.

144
00:21:19.980 --> 00:21:24.370
Marilyn Barrett: Pretty quickly, but at first, I was really scared.

145
00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:38.429
Marilyn Barrett: Eastern Emmanuella, who… who we stayed with for the first 4 days in Zimbabwe,

146
00:21:39.210 --> 00:21:45.900
Marilyn Barrett: We're kind, and generous, and compassionate, and…

147
00:21:46.090 --> 00:22:00.000
Marilyn Barrett: they embraced us wholeheartedly. Eason is trying to get on, as we know he oftentimes has network challenges, but he's still trying to get on on this, Zoom today.

148
00:22:01.530 --> 00:22:02.700
Marilyn Barrett: Here we go.

149
00:22:10.230 --> 00:22:11.629
Marilyn Barrett: Thank you, Bob.

150
00:22:19.040 --> 00:22:19.840
Marilyn Barrett: There we go.

151
00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:24.610
Sheva Carr: You guys travel like we do.

152
00:22:25.370 --> 00:22:32.709
Marilyn Barrett: Wait a minute, so… Jean Marie, I'll try very hard to describe the pictures I'm showing.

153
00:22:32.810 --> 00:22:52.659
Marilyn Barrett: We had extra luggage. We had at least… the two suitcases at the bottom were filled with things that were sent by, thank you, Bob… were sent… filled with things that were sent by, Easton's, boss, who lives here in Columbus, Ohio, just about a couple hours from Bob and I.

154
00:22:52.790 --> 00:23:05.519
Marilyn Barrett: So we picked up things he wanted to send with us for Easton, and we thought it was just gonna be a duffel bag. It was two full duffel bags full of stuff, and then we had other things that he… that we were bringing also as well.

155
00:23:05.520 --> 00:23:08.589
Sheva Carr: Yeah, from Heart Ambassadors for their sponsor kids.

156
00:23:08.930 --> 00:23:17.140
Marilyn Barrett: Yep, and we just had… we had… those suits… two red suit… red and black suitcases at the bottom were loaded with stuff we left there.

157
00:23:17.690 --> 00:23:23.940
Marilyn Barrett: We… when we were in South Africa, we wrapped them. We had them wrapped in cellophane.

158
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:32.299
Marilyn Barrett: Because that's what we were told to do. All our suitcases that we were putting through needed to be wrapped in cellophane to keep them safe.

159
00:23:33.170 --> 00:23:40.609
Marilyn Barrett: And when we got to the Zimbabwe airport, Easton's friend inside the airport, his name was Tim also.

160
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:51.969
Marilyn Barrett: He literally scooped us up, and he took us through every step. There was no thought, no thinking that we needed to do to figure anything out once we stepped off the plane.

161
00:23:55.010 --> 00:24:03.830
Marilyn Barrett: And here, here's a picture, in the very front yard of Easton on the left.

162
00:24:04.120 --> 00:24:06.790
Marilyn Barrett: Emmanuella is on the right.

163
00:24:06.940 --> 00:24:13.929
Marilyn Barrett: And their oldest daughter, Emmy, we call her.

164
00:24:14.970 --> 00:24:20.739
Marilyn Barrett: Oh, there's got yet. Wait, Bob, don't shift yet. And then…

165
00:24:20.890 --> 00:24:23.369
Marilyn Barrett: There we go. Okay, yeah, thank you. Next one.

166
00:24:26.120 --> 00:24:32.510
Marilyn Barrett: And this is just an example of the hospitality that they provided for us.

167
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:35.860
Marilyn Barrett: Emmanuella is a wonderful cook.

168
00:24:36.120 --> 00:24:38.540
Marilyn Barrett: And… she made us…

169
00:24:38.830 --> 00:24:47.900
Marilyn Barrett: amazing breakfast. This was a breakfast that she provided for us. Every day, she made the most amazing breakfast. Now, you have to understand that

170
00:24:49.330 --> 00:24:55.030
Marilyn Barrett: This is their living room and their dining room. This is a small house on the back of their property.

171
00:24:56.460 --> 00:24:58.910
Marilyn Barrett: Bob, can you go back one slide, please?

172
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:07.710
Marilyn Barrett: Okay, but that's a brick wall around their property. I just wanted to see that. That brick wall is around their property. Okay, go forward.

173
00:25:08.300 --> 00:25:11.309
Marilyn Barrett: We can go over a few minutes if we need to.

174
00:25:11.820 --> 00:25:13.530
jeannemarie: We eat for breakfast.

175
00:25:14.230 --> 00:25:15.319
Marilyn Barrett: Oh, go back.

176
00:25:15.730 --> 00:25:19.190
Marilyn Barrett: You know, go back to the breakfast slide, please.

177
00:25:19.580 --> 00:25:25.330
Marilyn Barrett: Okay, it was normal eggs, toast, different,

178
00:25:25.600 --> 00:25:33.080
Marilyn Barrett: Sausage, bacon, but then there's also, there could have been anything from different kinds of eggs, and…

179
00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:35.640
Marilyn Barrett: Always coffee.

180
00:25:39.990 --> 00:25:50.479
Marilyn Barrett: What was I gonna say? One time she served cake for breakfast, because she wanted us to taste the cake that she makes, and it is… it was superb.

181
00:25:51.840 --> 00:25:54.579
Marilyn Barrett: Always… there's always beans.

182
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.619
Marilyn Barrett: Am I missing anything? You're far away, Pop.

183
00:26:01.230 --> 00:26:04.299
Marilyn Barrett: Breakfasts were similar to our breakfasts.

184
00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:15.659
Marilyn Barrett: And before every meal, there's hand washing. That's pretty common, that someone in the household

185
00:26:15.840 --> 00:26:19.940
Marilyn Barrett: Holds the bowl, and somebody pours the water. That's real common.

186
00:26:21.010 --> 00:26:35.790
Marilyn Barrett: A lot of times, and the picture on the right, my daughter… well, no, one of my clients knew we were going, and I told her that my daughter was making bracelets for us to hand out to the children that we were going to train in Zimbabwe.

187
00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:48.339
Marilyn Barrett: So, this client, her daughter was… is in a program where they wanted to make bracelets for us, so they sent, like, 300 bracelets for… for the children that we were going to be training.

188
00:26:48.840 --> 00:26:59.739
Marilyn Barrett: My daughter made string bracelets, so before we left, we tied on string bracelets for each other, little friendship bracelets. We're in a contest now. I still have mine. I said, whoever has it the longest, you know, gets a prize.

189
00:27:01.620 --> 00:27:02.650
Marilyn Barrett: Go ahead, Bob.

190
00:27:03.040 --> 00:27:08.660
Marilyn Barrett: The people on the left in this picture, there's a young lady on the right, And then…

191
00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:18.780
Marilyn Barrett: The two young gentlemen, the lady on the right actually helps clean their house, and the two gentlemen, they, they graciously,

192
00:27:19.600 --> 00:27:25.380
Marilyn Barrett: Support them to finish their… they're not called high school, it's called secondary school there.

193
00:27:25.620 --> 00:27:34.229
Marilyn Barrett: And as a… in exchange for them paying for them, to finish secondary school, they…

194
00:27:34.570 --> 00:27:44.140
Marilyn Barrett: They live on the premises, I'll show you a picture of that in a minute, but they live on the premises. There's a little house just outside of their house, on their property, where the boys live.

195
00:27:44.630 --> 00:27:51.850
Marilyn Barrett: So that they're always available to help with things like the generator. They turn on the generator.

196
00:27:52.160 --> 00:28:03.619
Marilyn Barrett: Because their electricity in Zimbabwe usually only goes on at, I don't know, maybe about 9 o'clock at night until maybe 5 or 6 in the morning is when they have electricity.

197
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:09.750
Marilyn Barrett: And that's not… and they don't always have electricity, but when it goes on, that's when they have electricity.

198
00:28:12.130 --> 00:28:28.190
Marilyn Barrett: They basically… which I'll show you in a minute, but they don't have… so they don't have hot water. That's, Emmy, their younger daughter. You can see she's up to date. She's got a cell phone in her hand, and she's scrolling YouTube videos, age-appropriate.

199
00:28:28.230 --> 00:28:34.829
Marilyn Barrett: And on the right is another picture of his children, Emmy and Nellie.

200
00:28:35.100 --> 00:28:45.869
Marilyn Barrett: There's a picture of our… one of our breakfasts and one of our dinners, so I'll describe it to you. The picture on top is a typical dinner,

201
00:28:46.790 --> 00:28:56.200
Marilyn Barrett: There's pumpkin and greens, which is usually spinach, not collard greens. There was some kind of beef they served, and potatoes are very common.

202
00:28:56.390 --> 00:29:04.160
Marilyn Barrett: And the bottom picture is a picture of… a close-up of breakfast, which is eggs, sausage, potatoes, and beans.

203
00:29:05.430 --> 00:29:14.530
Marilyn Barrett: And there's also on the right a picture of her… her kitchen. She does all her… almost all her catering that she does that's private in this kitchen.

204
00:29:14.810 --> 00:29:18.359
Marilyn Barrett: While we were there, she got a job for 300 people.

205
00:29:19.600 --> 00:29:20.420
Marilyn Barrett: Hmm.

206
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:22.130
Marilyn Barrett: Okay, next.

207
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:32.450
Marilyn Barrett: And another picture of our dinner table, and that's a little… that's a picture of their living room and dining room, and the right side is their extra…

208
00:29:32.630 --> 00:29:44.240
Marilyn Barrett: propane, I believe, stove, that front door there, they bring the stove in and out, so the boys bring it in. And there's almost always a pot cooking something on that stove.

209
00:29:45.690 --> 00:29:47.980
Marilyn Barrett: And the aroma's wafting through the house.

210
00:29:48.510 --> 00:29:57.000
Marilyn Barrett: Hopefully it's not too strong. So here's some extended pictures. Now we just took some extended pictures of the house.

211
00:29:58.330 --> 00:30:01.050
Marilyn Barrett: So again, whoop, go back.

212
00:30:02.670 --> 00:30:06.659
Marilyn Barrett: A living room… okay, yeah, go ahead. That's the living room.

213
00:30:06.810 --> 00:30:09.629
Marilyn Barrett: With a couch. It's a pretty large

214
00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:16.229
Marilyn Barrett: Couch with the coffee table, big square coffee table in the center, and that's about all the room there is.

215
00:30:16.600 --> 00:30:17.470
Marilyn Barrett: Okay.

216
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:22.800
Marilyn Barrett: And they gave us, they generously gave us their bedroom.

217
00:30:23.650 --> 00:30:31.089
Marilyn Barrett: And this is their bathroom, which is… they put in this bathroom

218
00:30:31.340 --> 00:30:35.649
Marilyn Barrett: This was almost… this… we understand that they put this bathroom in…

219
00:30:35.940 --> 00:30:39.530
Marilyn Barrett: Between the time we connected and… and…

220
00:30:39.770 --> 00:30:45.020
Marilyn Barrett: made arrangements to… they wanted us to stay with them, so they put this… this was fairly new.

221
00:30:45.390 --> 00:30:46.500
Marilyn Barrett: But…

222
00:30:47.060 --> 00:30:53.909
Marilyn Barrett: The only thing that comes out of the shower head, came out of the shower head, was cold water.

223
00:30:54.280 --> 00:31:03.800
Marilyn Barrett: So while we were there, I did wash my hair once in cold water, but I didn't take a shower, I just stuck my head over the tub, and, you know, adaptation, you do what you do.

224
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:10.109
Marilyn Barrett: And here's another picture of the kitchen.

225
00:31:11.760 --> 00:31:13.210
Marilyn Barrett: And that's Emmy.

226
00:31:16.730 --> 00:31:20.759
Marilyn Barrett: So this is a picture of their house on their property.

227
00:31:21.580 --> 00:31:40.350
Marilyn Barrett: There's a door you see on the right, that's the door that they brought the… bring the stove in and out, but the… on the left, you'll see a half-wooden door that's sticking out. That's the door they enter their kitchen, come in and out of their kitchen. That's the door they use to come in and out of the house. Yes, thank you.

228
00:31:40.860 --> 00:31:43.469
Marilyn Barrett: Now, this is on the back of their property.

229
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:52.380
Marilyn Barrett: It's a small house that eventually they want to use as an Airbnb at the back of their property. They're building a house, which I'll show you in a minute, in the front of their property.

230
00:31:52.480 --> 00:32:04.790
Marilyn Barrett: It's a 13-room house, no basement, no second floor. It's just a one floor. 13 rooms. Right now, they have the… all the bricks going up for all… all the bricks are up for the rooms, and the roof.

231
00:32:05.080 --> 00:32:07.210
Marilyn Barrett: And they build as they're able.

232
00:32:07.410 --> 00:32:19.629
Marilyn Barrett: as they're, you know, as funds come in for them to add on to the house, they put a little more into it. On the right, you can see, this is the view outside of that wooden door.

233
00:32:20.770 --> 00:32:24.510
Marilyn Barrett: On the left house, the wooden door, this is the view where they've got their…

234
00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:29.660
Marilyn Barrett: That's their 5,000 gallon water tank that they fill up.

235
00:32:30.280 --> 00:32:45.109
Marilyn Barrett: for $80 American money, that's the water that comes into their house. They mop constantly, the house is immaculate, or at least it was when we were there. And then there's… you can see they have a clothesline out there as well.

236
00:32:45.580 --> 00:32:49.120
Marilyn Barrett: So the mops hang up to dry, the clothesline is out there.

237
00:32:49.950 --> 00:33:00.120
Marilyn Barrett: And they wash their clothes, you know, they, their help, the people that help, the lady that cleans and the boys, they all do the washing outside in this little courtyard, in this little yard area.

238
00:33:01.350 --> 00:33:02.140
Marilyn Barrett: Okay.

239
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:09.749
Marilyn Barrett: Here's a view of… on the left, you can sort of see

240
00:33:10.030 --> 00:33:25.399
Marilyn Barrett: But it's clearer on the right. You can see on the right… the right side picture. Oh, yeah, that's it. Where Bob's got the pointer is the little… the little house where the boys stay. It's very small. And then to the left of it is a future chicken coop.

241
00:33:25.560 --> 00:33:26.860
Marilyn Barrett: Go all the way over.

242
00:33:27.730 --> 00:33:33.679
Marilyn Barrett: Yeah, yeah, the same picture. Yeah, that's the future chicken coop right now, it's just got things stored in it.

243
00:33:34.810 --> 00:33:40.360
Marilyn Barrett: But this is the back of their property, and it's probably a third. So here's the front of the property, and it shows…

244
00:33:40.620 --> 00:33:48.160
Marilyn Barrett: it shows, you know, it shows, you know, an idea of the structure of

245
00:33:48.340 --> 00:33:52.769
Marilyn Barrett: The… where they're at in terms of building their home in the front.

246
00:33:55.260 --> 00:34:01.390
Marilyn Barrett: That's the side, so it gives you an idea. She's got a garden on the side. Everyone has a garden everywhere.

247
00:34:01.770 --> 00:34:05.739
Marilyn Barrett: everywhere we went in Africa, it's all… it's garden.

248
00:34:06.670 --> 00:34:11.600
Marilyn Barrett: So that's… and there's a picture of the right side. This is the… this is where they walk up from the front.

249
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:17.819
Marilyn Barrett: They walk all the way up this little side to get to the home they live in in the back.

250
00:34:18.409 --> 00:34:23.270
Marilyn Barrett: That's a view of their… a side view of their… and this is the front.

251
00:34:23.670 --> 00:34:29.030
Marilyn Barrett: They have a big metal sliding door that encloses everything, and they keep it locked.

252
00:34:29.540 --> 00:34:35.530
Marilyn Barrett: And they have two dogs that they keep inside the property.

253
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.159
Marilyn Barrett: Bob, you are free to add.

254
00:34:39.449 --> 00:34:47.559
Marilyn Barrett: This is… this is one view outside… outside the front door. This is their… their neighbors to one side.

255
00:34:50.030 --> 00:34:55.520
Marilyn Barrett: And the road. And the typical road in Zimbabwe. You need to go back one?

256
00:34:56.860 --> 00:35:01.049
Marilyn Barrett: the typical road in Africa, they called it African Massage.

257
00:35:03.120 --> 00:35:05.570
Marilyn Barrett: Okay. Okay, thank you.

258
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:21.209
Marilyn Barrett: And we… we… they asked us what we wanted to do when we came, and we said, we just want to live your life with you, and so they took us to, their older daughter, the two girls go to a private school, and their older daughter plays,

259
00:35:21.640 --> 00:35:24.770
Marilyn Barrett: Field hockey, so this was her field hockey game.

260
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:32.989
Marilyn Barrett: And we went out to dinner that night, because the roads were so crowded.

261
00:35:33.100 --> 00:35:37.049
Marilyn Barrett: To get back from the field hockey game. We waited, we stopped and had dinner.

262
00:35:37.210 --> 00:35:44.089
Marilyn Barrett: And you can see the food at this restaurant is fairly Americanized. There was a pizza place, and I had a stir-fry, and…

263
00:35:44.250 --> 00:35:50.320
Marilyn Barrett: Easton had a cheeseburger and fries, and someone else had a pizza. Someone else had macaroni and cheese.

264
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.960
Marilyn Barrett: This is a picture of Emmanuella's cantina, which,

265
00:36:00.310 --> 00:36:10.059
Marilyn Barrett: She had a break from her. This is a picture of the people on the left, the people… her sister-in-law and the people that work in the cantina.

266
00:36:11.390 --> 00:36:16.220
Marilyn Barrett: Behind the counter. In the middle is the… is… Yep.

267
00:36:16.490 --> 00:36:23.770
Marilyn Barrett: And that's Easton on the left, and Emmanuella is next to Easton. And I believe it's the sister-in-law in the front.

268
00:36:25.350 --> 00:36:29.809
Marilyn Barrett: And, I'm on the right. And that's a walkway

269
00:36:30.370 --> 00:36:37.890
Marilyn Barrett: That runs along all those storefronts that you see. There's 5 or 6 of them. Each one is another cantina.

270
00:36:39.070 --> 00:36:48.940
Marilyn Barrett: But theirs, their storefront is the first one. Not only did they have prime property in that location, but theirs is the one that's super immaculate.

271
00:36:49.890 --> 00:36:51.110
Marilyn Barrett: So let me… So they do…

272
00:36:51.110 --> 00:36:53.329
Sheva Carr: On this one for just a second.

273
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:54.110
Marilyn Barrett: Yep.

274
00:36:54.300 --> 00:36:56.890
Sheva Carr: More the history and where it's at now.

275
00:36:57.130 --> 00:36:57.760
Marilyn Barrett: Yes.

276
00:36:58.310 --> 00:37:02.880
Sheva Carr: So, easton's brother passed away.

277
00:37:02.990 --> 00:37:05.000
Sheva Carr: About a year and a half ago.

278
00:37:06.090 --> 00:37:07.180
Sheva Carr: And…

279
00:37:08.120 --> 00:37:15.010
Sheva Carr: One of the things that's so important and part of what we do as a community in Heart Ambassadors

280
00:37:15.390 --> 00:37:21.220
Sheva Carr: Remember in the Bus 7 Myths About Your Mood course.

281
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:32.989
Sheva Carr: One of the tools for handling your own discomfort is widening the aperture Or the frame around it.

282
00:37:36.090 --> 00:37:37.060
Sheva Carr: And…

283
00:37:37.370 --> 00:37:48.730
Sheva Carr: In the Western worlds, people have been indoctrinated or enculturated to have very little tolerance for discomfort of any kind.

284
00:37:49.580 --> 00:37:54.250
Sheva Carr: Because our lives have become so comfort-driven.

285
00:37:58.070 --> 00:37:59.100
Sheva Carr: So…

286
00:37:59.460 --> 00:38:10.489
Sheva Carr: Part of what serves us in service work is widening the aperture, which takes the significance out of discomfort. You even heard Marilyn make a big deal out of only cold water.

287
00:38:11.370 --> 00:38:18.600
Sheva Carr: If you've lived anywhere else in the world, to have running water at all is, like, wow, big luxury.

288
00:38:21.450 --> 00:38:24.909
Sheva Carr: So that's part of Maryland's widening aperture.

289
00:38:28.680 --> 00:38:37.120
Sheva Carr: The idea that… hot running water is something that you're entitled to is really a purely Western concept.

290
00:38:40.600 --> 00:38:59.150
Sheva Carr: So, similarly, In most places around the world, being a widow is… a kind of… Horrifying life sentence.

291
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:01.000
Lynne Jensen: Yeah.

292
00:39:01.220 --> 00:39:03.740
Sheva Carr: There's a st… goes with it.

293
00:39:04.970 --> 00:39:12.129
Sheva Carr: There is economic Isolation and despair that goes with it.

294
00:39:14.900 --> 00:39:26.129
Sheva Carr: And Zimbabwe is no different, so Easton's sister-in-law and her children were going to be destitute on the streets. Now, Easton was gonna do what he could to help them.

295
00:39:27.520 --> 00:39:32.360
Sheva Carr: But this became our first successful microloan.

296
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:37.389
Sheva Carr: And we…

297
00:39:37.820 --> 00:39:46.059
Sheva Carr: lended Easton's sister-in-law, I don't even remember what it was now, I'd have to look it up. I've actually personally made this loan.

298
00:39:47.300 --> 00:39:49.279
Sheva Carr: For about $800.

299
00:39:52.350 --> 00:39:54.979
Sheva Carr: Out of that was born…

300
00:39:55.720 --> 00:40:02.379
Sheva Carr: This cantina that you're looking at that got her off the streets and put her kids back in school.

301
00:40:04.590 --> 00:40:07.610
Sheva Carr: That's the heart of what you're looking at right here.

302
00:40:11.780 --> 00:40:20.020
Sheva Carr: Now, understand… She and Easton's wife, Emmanuella, these are highly trained women. One of them's a lawyer.

303
00:40:21.230 --> 00:40:22.380
Sheva Carr: Doesn't matter.

304
00:40:24.340 --> 00:40:27.890
Sheva Carr: The stigma and the destitution is the same, unless…

305
00:40:28.210 --> 00:40:30.700
Sheva Carr: Something new comes in, like this.

306
00:40:32.910 --> 00:40:35.780
Sheva Carr: And so…

307
00:40:37.230 --> 00:40:45.599
Sheva Carr: I would say, just in the last 3 months, this has become profitable. One of the things that I did, because I personally, for all kinds of reasons.

308
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:56.190
Sheva Carr: for… Global public health, as well as for…

309
00:40:57.010 --> 00:41:00.400
Sheva Carr: Personal health, as well as for,

310
00:41:00.590 --> 00:41:04.440
Sheva Carr: climate issues, I'm a huge advocate for plant-based eating.

311
00:41:05.450 --> 00:41:11.050
Sheva Carr: And because they were serving mostly meat at the cantina, I sat down and talked with the women and said.

312
00:41:11.930 --> 00:41:19.650
Sheva Carr: What would you think if we had a lottery every day where everyone who buys a plant-based meal, the tenth person of the day that does, gets it free?

313
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:29.699
Sheva Carr: And so, every month, I send 30 meal tickets to them.

314
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:39.960
Sheva Carr: And that single thing has driven their business to be the most successful cantina in that row.

315
00:41:40.890 --> 00:41:43.160
Sheva Carr: Because people love the lottery.

316
00:41:43.810 --> 00:41:47.480
Sheva Carr: And they're all buying plant-based, because they want to win the free meal.

317
00:41:49.530 --> 00:41:55.379
Sheva Carr: It's been a really cool example of how me acting in alignment with my core values

318
00:41:57.370 --> 00:42:01.309
Sheva Carr: Wended up creating this ripple effect for the wholeness.

319
00:42:03.130 --> 00:42:12.579
Sheva Carr: Unfortunately, they are remodeling this building now, and so they've lost the cantina, and they're currently without a place for their kitchen.

320
00:42:13.510 --> 00:42:14.750
Sheva Carr: In the restaurant.

321
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:19.509
Sheva Carr: We've been actively looking for a new place for them to

322
00:42:20.230 --> 00:42:25.420
Sheva Carr: Hold their restaurant, but rent in other places is more expensive, which could be fine.

323
00:42:25.670 --> 00:42:29.759
Sheva Carr: But for the 3 months before the kitchen closed, they were profitable.

324
00:42:30.430 --> 00:42:33.200
Sheva Carr: And already starting to pay back their loan.

325
00:42:34.660 --> 00:42:43.749
Sheva Carr: And so we'll… we'll keep you updated. But I wanted… this is not just some random photo you're looking at. There's a real heart-based story behind this.

326
00:42:45.780 --> 00:42:49.040
Sheva Carr: And I wanted you all to receive the heart in it.

327
00:42:51.470 --> 00:42:52.679
Sheva Carr: Thank you, Marilyn.

328
00:42:56.250 --> 00:42:57.900
Marilyn Barrett: I think I have another picture, yeah.

329
00:42:59.380 --> 00:43:02.189
Marilyn Barrett: This was definitely a mead day.

330
00:43:05.780 --> 00:43:08.930
Marilyn Barrett: This is a picture for Jane Marie of… of…

331
00:43:09.160 --> 00:43:11.790
Marilyn Barrett: Behind the scenes in the kitchen of the…

332
00:43:12.110 --> 00:43:17.610
Marilyn Barrett: Different containers that have the food that gets served onto the plate, and

333
00:43:18.160 --> 00:43:22.180
Marilyn Barrett: In the next picture, which is meat and…

334
00:43:22.610 --> 00:43:27.339
Marilyn Barrett: So in this picture on the left is a woman. They have a…

335
00:43:28.180 --> 00:43:42.860
Marilyn Barrett: They have a bucket that's set up a little bit high that has water and a spout, and a woman is washing her hands, rinsing her hands into another, but the water's going into another bucket before she, gets her food.

336
00:43:43.080 --> 00:43:46.990
Marilyn Barrett: which has… Saza, which is a…

337
00:43:47.090 --> 00:44:00.639
Marilyn Barrett: That's a traditional local food, saza. That's made out of… in Zimbabwe, it's made out of cornmeal, but the cornmeal is so thick, if you can see it on the plate, it's so thick when you scoop it up and put it.

338
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:03.640
Marilyn Barrett: On the plate, you can eat it with a fork.

339
00:44:06.220 --> 00:44:11.569
Marilyn Barrett: There's a pile of it on her plate with greens, potato, and chicken.

340
00:44:13.780 --> 00:44:22.239
Marilyn Barrett: For a dollar. For a dollar, yeah, that plate is a dollar, and we treated that lady for lunch while we were there, and some other people, also.

341
00:44:23.680 --> 00:44:24.830
Marilyn Barrett: Next, yeah.

342
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:37.910
Marilyn Barrett: So… That was… so that… that day, or the next day, we went to visit 9-11 direct.

343
00:44:38.330 --> 00:44:43.209
Marilyn Barrett: Sheva, would you… would you like to describe what the…

344
00:44:43.820 --> 00:44:46.509
Marilyn Barrett: The partnership is with 9-11 Direct.

345
00:44:48.620 --> 00:44:51.099
Sheva Carr: Robert's saying something to me, hold on, what?

346
00:44:55.540 --> 00:45:00.929
Sheva Carr: I don't know about the partnership between 11Direct. You'll have to tell us.

347
00:45:03.890 --> 00:45:06.190
Marilyn Barrett: Oops, wait a minute.

348
00:45:09.740 --> 00:45:16.959
Marilyn Barrett: So, this is a hospital that we sponsor as Heart Ambassadors, is that correct?

349
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:20.420
Sheva Carr: I've never, I've never actually heard the name of the hospital.

350
00:45:20.810 --> 00:45:24.590
Marilyn Barrett: Oh, oh, okay, this is, memory and.

351
00:45:24.590 --> 00:45:26.890
Sheva Carr: This is memory in Swanda.

352
00:45:26.890 --> 00:45:33.070
Marilyn Barrett: Yes, and Tawanda's… yes, these are pictures of the… Of the maternity…

353
00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:37.480
Marilyn Barrett: their facility yet, and it has… Go ahead.

354
00:45:38.750 --> 00:45:43.589
Sheva Carr: No, you go ahead. They've never called it that name with us.

355
00:45:44.870 --> 00:45:45.910
Marilyn Barrett: What do they call it?

356
00:45:47.080 --> 00:45:50.900
Sheva Carr: Well, they don't, because it's actually…

357
00:45:51.620 --> 00:45:52.340
Marilyn Barrett: Hold on, Bob.

358
00:45:52.340 --> 00:45:54.999
Sheva Carr: Not a hospital, they're wanting to build a hospital.

359
00:45:55.150 --> 00:45:57.709
Sheva Carr: We're, we're currently fundraising.

360
00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:00.719
Sheva Carr: To build an actual hospital for them.

361
00:46:01.130 --> 00:46:05.350
Sheva Carr: We have a $200,000 capital campaign that we're working on.

362
00:46:05.500 --> 00:46:11.620
Sheva Carr: To build an actual hospital, but really what they are is a mobile unit.

363
00:46:11.930 --> 00:46:12.720
Sheva Carr: With a…

364
00:46:13.710 --> 00:46:23.210
Sheva Carr: couple of rooms that they use, so their maternal child health risk is huge. They want to build a full-fledged maternal child hospital.

365
00:46:23.640 --> 00:46:30.359
Sheva Carr: But they also… so they operate more like, A mobile health clinic.

366
00:46:30.810 --> 00:46:34.690
Sheva Carr: And for that reason, we've also sponsored them to go into rural areas.

367
00:46:35.490 --> 00:46:45.659
Sheva Carr: areas where our schools and wells are, like Chikupu, and, do rural health interventions for people who can't travel far enough to reach.

368
00:46:46.150 --> 00:46:54.560
Sheva Carr: Harare and receive medical care. So they don't… they never gave us a name for their quote-unquote service.

369
00:46:55.270 --> 00:46:55.950
Sheva Carr: And…

370
00:46:55.950 --> 00:46:57.519
Marilyn Barrett: Do you want to go back? Yeah.

371
00:47:03.580 --> 00:47:08.020
Sheva Carr: But yeah, so it's a…

372
00:47:08.220 --> 00:47:18.450
Sheva Carr: But they've been very impressive partners, so memory, and to one… Memory, I believe, is an MD herself who had, as long…

373
00:47:19.130 --> 00:47:19.990
Sheva Carr: Lost.

374
00:47:20.150 --> 00:47:22.299
Sheva Carr: Several children in childbirth.

375
00:47:23.020 --> 00:47:30.780
Sheva Carr: And so she and her husband, Tawanda, have made it their mission to change the status of maternal child health in Zimbabwe.

376
00:47:31.560 --> 00:47:34.940
Sheva Carr: And we're actively working with them to,

377
00:47:35.190 --> 00:47:38.239
Sheva Carr: Fundraise. To see that dream realized.

378
00:47:40.820 --> 00:47:43.070
Marilyn Barrett: I didn't know that about her.

379
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:46.740
Marilyn Barrett: I know she and her husband, Tawanda, spent

380
00:47:46.910 --> 00:47:50.840
Marilyn Barrett: many years of their active working careers in Canada.

381
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.629
Lynne Jensen: I believe it was McMaster University in that area.

382
00:47:55.630 --> 00:48:00.529
Marilyn Barrett: In Canada, and then they came back to Zimbabwe as a give-back.

383
00:48:00.930 --> 00:48:03.870
Marilyn Barrett: I didn't know about the law… her own loss of children.

384
00:48:04.470 --> 00:48:07.299
Sheva Carr: So that may be where they got their 911 branding.

385
00:48:07.690 --> 00:48:10.309
Sheva Carr: For emergency services and mobile.

386
00:48:10.310 --> 00:48:11.230
Marilyn Barrett: Go back, Bob.

387
00:48:13.120 --> 00:48:17.369
Sheva Carr: We're gonna get a t-shirt that everybody wears that says, go back, Bob!

388
00:48:20.680 --> 00:48:38.380
Marilyn Barrett: Go back, Jack. So this picture actually shows that they're in the hospital, they just opened… they're just opening up the pharmacy, and there's… there's actually now four parts to this… this section here, and it's… it's in a… It's fairly nice right there. This is the maternity, small maternity.

389
00:48:38.910 --> 00:48:43.639
Marilyn Barrett: unit, where they have, one, what they call,

390
00:48:44.910 --> 00:48:59.490
Marilyn Barrett: theater, which is where they do deliveries, and then a couple of different rooms for… for… where they have C-sections. They have one theater for C-sections, emergency C-sections, and another couple of rooms for actual deliveries.

391
00:48:59.710 --> 00:49:05.310
Marilyn Barrett: So this actually has a pharmacy now. To the left of this building,

392
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:20.459
Marilyn Barrett: They have… the structure is in place, it's not open yet, but they do have an emergency room, a general emergency room, and to the right of this building is now a dental unit, which is… what she told me when I spoke with her last week, it's now open.

393
00:49:21.900 --> 00:49:25.140
Marilyn Barrett: And, now you can change it. Thank you, Bob.

394
00:49:26.550 --> 00:49:33.480
Marilyn Barrett: And this is a one-minute video, do we… we can… you can… if you want to see their one-minute video, she sent this to me not too long ago.

395
00:49:38.230 --> 00:49:39.470
Marilyn Barrett: Do you have sound?

396
00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:44.630
Lynne Jensen: Awesome.

397
00:49:45.550 --> 00:49:52.299
Sheva Carr: Bob, did you screen share with Optimize for Video and Sound? You might have to pull out and screen share again.

398
00:49:55.990 --> 00:49:56.710
Marilyn Barrett: Bob?

399
00:50:01.990 --> 00:50:07.610
Marilyn Barrett: Did you optimize? Did you press the button for sound when you came in to screen share?

400
00:50:08.990 --> 00:50:11.169
Marilyn Barrett: Because there's no… you're the only one with sound.

401
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:17.539
Marilyn Barrett: Can you come back? Can you go out and come back in and see if you can get the sound on?

402
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:21.170
Marilyn Barrett: I'll come in there.

403
00:50:24.790 --> 00:50:32.110
Sheva Carr: Well, you all weren't counting on it, but having technical difficulties is the way of the world in Zimbabwe, so you're actually

404
00:50:34.020 --> 00:50:35.870
Sheva Carr: full cultural immersion.

405
00:50:50.150 --> 00:50:51.070
Marilyn Barrett: Bob?

406
00:50:51.180 --> 00:50:55.640
Marilyn Barrett: All right, all right. Well, I have a lot of… alright.

407
00:50:56.140 --> 00:51:04.199
Marilyn Barrett: Alright, so this is a t-shirt that, she made t-shirts. You've got the hats now. She made a couple t-shirts also.

408
00:51:05.580 --> 00:51:09.720
Marilyn Barrett: Which had her logo at… So here's some pictures.

409
00:51:09.720 --> 00:51:17.859
Sheva Carr: Wanda, that t-shirt is our tagline at the foundation, Together Choosing Love.

410
00:51:19.080 --> 00:51:21.889
Sheva Carr: And, because your life matters.

411
00:51:22.390 --> 00:51:28.900
Sheva Carr: So they've, I've actually never even had a conversation with Memory or Tawanda.

412
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:35.419
Sheva Carr: Our entire relationship has been through email and Easton's vetting.

413
00:51:36.420 --> 00:51:38.710
Sheva Carr: But there's this intimacy!

414
00:51:39.150 --> 00:51:49.250
Sheva Carr: That she had hats made of our foundation and t-shirts. Like, they've just connected so deeply with us in the heart and us with them.

415
00:51:50.370 --> 00:51:55.159
Sheva Carr: A blueprint, a recognized heart's blueprint is the only way I can describe it.

416
00:51:55.890 --> 00:52:02.660
Sheva Carr: So, actually, when we were traveling in Mexico, that's where we found our first potential funder for the hospital.

417
00:52:05.570 --> 00:52:06.340
Marilyn Barrett: Oh.

418
00:52:07.690 --> 00:52:08.360
Sheva Carr: Yeah.

419
00:52:09.980 --> 00:52:13.749
Sheva Carr: We're in the process of, creating a pitch deck for them right now.

420
00:52:17.530 --> 00:52:20.120
Marilyn Barrett: I don't know what a pitch deck is. Here's.

421
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:25.340
Sheva Carr: Pitch deck is how you get a couple hundred $1,000.

422
00:52:25.820 --> 00:52:28.399
Marilyn Barrett: It's a… it's a PowerPoint presentation.

423
00:52:28.640 --> 00:52:37.190
Sheva Carr: It tells the investor what you're going to do with it, and either how they'll recoup their money, or what the social profits will be for their investment.

424
00:52:41.010 --> 00:52:42.150
Marilyn Barrett: That makes sense.

425
00:52:44.010 --> 00:52:45.149
Marilyn Barrett: New word.

426
00:52:45.730 --> 00:52:46.650
Marilyn Barrett: Simple.

427
00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:49.990
Marilyn Barrett: You are?

428
00:52:51.010 --> 00:52:53.560
Marilyn Barrett: Don't, don't have to worry about it.

429
00:52:54.130 --> 00:52:55.470
Marilyn Barrett: Please don't worry about it.

430
00:52:56.030 --> 00:52:57.839
Marilyn Barrett: Pace's concerned about timing.

431
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:01.760
Marilyn Barrett: We've been known to go off past 1 o'clock.

432
00:53:02.040 --> 00:53:09.000
Marilyn Barrett: So this… this is, the two… two of the… the two maternity delivery rooms.

433
00:53:09.130 --> 00:53:14.600
Marilyn Barrett: You see, there's… there's an… each one shows an isolate and a delivery table, Okay.

434
00:53:14.850 --> 00:53:17.910
Marilyn Barrett: Next.

435
00:53:18.070 --> 00:53:25.000
Marilyn Barrett: There's, this was upstairs, that's where they keep all their supplies, they're very neatly… organized.

436
00:53:25.270 --> 00:53:34.419
Marilyn Barrett: And from upstairs, you can see a picture from the outside of the theater, where they have the emergency deliveries. The exit is also the main entrance.

437
00:53:38.510 --> 00:53:42.750
Marilyn Barrett: This is also on the second floor. These are miscellaneous supplies on the left.

438
00:53:43.100 --> 00:53:45.830
Marilyn Barrett: And on the right side, is…

439
00:53:45.990 --> 00:53:48.669
Marilyn Barrett: Someone want to guess what that is?

440
00:53:50.060 --> 00:53:50.620
Lynne Jensen: Yeah.

441
00:53:50.980 --> 00:53:52.500
Lynne Jensen: A birthing chair.

442
00:53:53.300 --> 00:53:54.130
Marilyn Barrett: No.

443
00:53:55.720 --> 00:53:56.929
Marilyn Barrett: One more guess.

444
00:54:00.290 --> 00:54:01.280
Marilyn Barrett: that…

445
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:03.930
Nienke van Bezooijen: Where they're way… where they're whey babies.

446
00:54:04.350 --> 00:54:06.870
Marilyn Barrett: Yes, that's for weighing the babies.

447
00:54:07.250 --> 00:54:08.210
Sheva Carr: Oh, cool.

448
00:54:08.370 --> 00:54:08.990
Marilyn Barrett: Yeah.

449
00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:10.320
Marilyn Barrett: And…

450
00:54:10.590 --> 00:54:17.600
Marilyn Barrett: Just out that window is also, like a balcony, and they're planning to make an educational wing on the top there out of that.

451
00:54:22.230 --> 00:54:28.219
Marilyn Barrett: This is, there it is, there's a better view on the left of the balcony where they're gonna enclose it for education.

452
00:54:28.550 --> 00:54:30.500
Marilyn Barrett: And this is,

453
00:54:30.940 --> 00:54:38.230
Marilyn Barrett: When you first walk in by their registration desk, just some of the signs they keep up, they have up.

454
00:54:39.040 --> 00:54:43.070
Marilyn Barrett: different vaccines. This is a table of different vaccines needed.

455
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:44.179
Marilyn Barrett: Go ahead, Bob.

456
00:54:47.620 --> 00:54:50.999
Marilyn Barrett: We're getting close to the dental section. Keep going.

457
00:54:52.070 --> 00:54:55.130
Marilyn Barrett: We just walked to the right. This is the dental room.

458
00:54:56.250 --> 00:54:59.950
Marilyn Barrett: All the equipment is in. This was before it was actually opened.

459
00:55:03.140 --> 00:55:09.609
Marilyn Barrett: And this is the left side. You can see the pharmacy slightly to the right, and this is the left side where the…

460
00:55:09.900 --> 00:55:13.040
Marilyn Barrett: The emergency section is.

461
00:55:16.600 --> 00:55:19.660
Marilyn Barrett: The… this is what they have.

462
00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:25.310
Marilyn Barrett: Presently what they have, equipment that they have, this is the right… the picture on the right are just…

463
00:55:25.700 --> 00:55:39.639
Marilyn Barrett: Existing cabinets that were already there, where you'll be, you know, for check-in and storage. On the left, you'll start to see the equipment that they have in the emergency room acquired so far. Not so fast.

464
00:55:40.950 --> 00:55:42.590
Marilyn Barrett: Not so fast. There we go.

465
00:55:43.270 --> 00:55:48.350
Marilyn Barrett: Keep going. There's… here we go. We do have to show… I have to show you the… Keep going.

466
00:55:51.010 --> 00:55:52.120
Marilyn Barrett: isolated.

467
00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:54.809
Marilyn Barrett: For when there's young children or babies.

468
00:55:58.810 --> 00:56:02.740
Marilyn Barrett: Now, that little gadget with the sink on the right

469
00:56:04.230 --> 00:56:07.999
Marilyn Barrett: Keep going to the right. Next, next, next slide.

470
00:56:09.690 --> 00:56:12.120
Marilyn Barrett: Okay, there's the front on the left.

471
00:56:13.290 --> 00:56:15.580
Marilyn Barrett: And on the right, you can see…

472
00:56:16.230 --> 00:56:19.129
Marilyn Barrett: That's the water tank that goes through that sink.

473
00:56:19.680 --> 00:56:22.200
Marilyn Barrett: They actually have just a separate…

474
00:56:22.770 --> 00:56:26.470
Marilyn Barrett: Water tank-type container. That's what feeds the sink.

475
00:56:28.200 --> 00:56:28.980
Marilyn Barrett: Okay.

476
00:56:30.720 --> 00:56:32.070
Marilyn Barrett: It's a bucket, yeah.

477
00:56:35.930 --> 00:56:37.239
Marilyn Barrett: Okay, keep going.

478
00:56:38.680 --> 00:56:43.780
Marilyn Barrett: And I've put this picture in because these babies were born emergency C-section.

479
00:56:43.950 --> 00:56:46.520
Marilyn Barrett: This, this, just this past Friday.

480
00:56:46.910 --> 00:56:56.890
Marilyn Barrett: And their shirts say, travel the world, but these twins were born September 5th by a mother from a rural area, unable to afford a C-section at a public facility.

481
00:56:57.120 --> 00:56:58.890
Marilyn Barrett: She was past her due date.

482
00:56:59.810 --> 00:57:05.469
Marilyn Barrett: Things were complicated, they called in two gynecologists, and in the end, there were two beautiful babies born.

483
00:57:09.070 --> 00:57:09.720
Marilyn Barrett: Okay.

484
00:57:09.720 --> 00:57:13.380
Sheva Carr: So, for those who don't know, it's probably worth just mentioning.

485
00:57:16.460 --> 00:57:23.460
Sheva Carr: The United States is among the last in the world for maternal child health, And… mortality.

486
00:57:23.890 --> 00:57:26.100
Sheva Carr: In the developed worlds.

487
00:57:26.490 --> 00:57:32.619
Sheva Carr: We are bottom of the bottom of the bottom. We have the worst possible maternal child services.

488
00:57:33.020 --> 00:57:35.740
Sheva Carr: In the developed world, and the most expensive.

489
00:57:37.230 --> 00:57:45.870
Sheva Carr: The Scandinavian countries always come first in maternal child health, and the reason is they have a midwifery model of care.

490
00:57:47.880 --> 00:57:54.879
Sheva Carr: And so, when we look at, quote-unquote, exporting maternal child health.

491
00:57:55.340 --> 00:57:59.380
Sheva Carr: It's very important that to developing countries whose

492
00:58:01.560 --> 00:58:05.979
Sheva Carr: Statistics are even worse than the US, which is hard to pull off, by the way.

493
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:18.269
Sheva Carr: But our medicalization of the natural process of childbirth has caused tremendous harm. We have, as physicians, completely betrayed our Hippocratic oath.

494
00:58:18.830 --> 00:58:21.409
Sheva Carr: Where maternal child health is concerned.

495
00:58:21.720 --> 00:58:25.549
Sheva Carr: There's all kinds of reasons for that, if anyone wants to learn about it.

496
00:58:26.440 --> 00:58:31.580
Sheva Carr: that I worked in depth in my early career in this field as a labor and delivery doula.

497
00:58:32.160 --> 00:58:33.530
Sheva Carr: Acupuncture du Leh.

498
00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:38.930
Sheva Carr: We want to export models of care that work.

499
00:58:40.440 --> 00:58:49.639
Sheva Carr: So, one of the things that I would require of Tawanda and Memory, should we grow this $200,000 facility, is that they have a midwifery model of care.

500
00:58:50.110 --> 00:58:52.930
Sheva Carr: Because we don't want to export our mistakes.

501
00:58:54.470 --> 00:59:02.839
Sheva Carr: Canada's not that far ahead of the U.S. We are a little… we, I say we because I'm from Canada, but Canada…

502
00:59:03.730 --> 00:59:10.859
Sheva Carr: It's a little further ahead than the U.S. in maternal child health, but not much. Anywhere where there's a medicalized model of care for childbirth.

503
00:59:11.210 --> 00:59:14.460
Sheva Carr: There is poor infant mother mortality rates.

504
00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:21.600
Sheva Carr: And so… It is…

505
00:59:22.610 --> 00:59:26.109
Sheva Carr: I don't… I haven't looked at the most recent data, it's been…

506
00:59:27.150 --> 00:59:35.349
Sheva Carr: A while, but in developing nations, it is among the top 5 causes of death, top 3, often top 1 often.

507
00:59:35.810 --> 00:59:38.750
Sheva Carr: For human beings is childbirth.

508
00:59:39.190 --> 00:59:44.420
Sheva Carr: It's one of the most dangerous things a human will ever do, is to be born or to give birth.

509
00:59:46.580 --> 00:59:49.889
Sheva Carr: And so, improving,

510
00:59:50.280 --> 00:59:57.160
Sheva Carr: infant and mother mortality rates is one of the goals, one of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN, or one of the targets.

511
00:59:58.100 --> 01:00:02.039
Sheva Carr: targets of Goal SDG3, Health and Wellness.

512
01:00:02.400 --> 01:00:05.680
Sheva Carr: So that's just to put this in some context.

513
01:00:07.660 --> 01:00:09.000
Sheva Carr: and awareness.

514
01:00:09.720 --> 01:00:10.909
Marilyn Barrett: Hmm, thank you.

515
01:00:18.780 --> 01:00:21.029
Marilyn Barrett: Next, thank you. Alright, so…

516
01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:28.319
Marilyn Barrett: After we left touring the… that facility we went to… she also partners with the school.

517
01:00:28.950 --> 01:00:31.969
Marilyn Barrett: It's… that's in Zimbabwe, and

518
01:00:32.130 --> 01:00:36.040
Marilyn Barrett: So we went to see the school, meet the kids.

519
01:00:37.980 --> 01:00:48.799
Marilyn Barrett: she keeps a family planning services table up there, and after that… and that's the van that they use. I believe that's the van that they use.

520
01:00:49.890 --> 01:00:53.519
Marilyn Barrett: When they go into the rural villages to provide healthcare.

521
01:00:54.310 --> 01:01:00.320
Marilyn Barrett: Which, yeah, for whatever reason, I don't quite… I don't quite understand it, and they only allow 5 people in the van.

522
01:01:01.410 --> 01:01:02.850
Sheva Carr: Yeah, no, we rent.

523
01:01:02.970 --> 01:01:05.559
Sheva Carr: We rent vans for them when they go rural.

524
01:01:05.560 --> 01:01:09.280
Marilyn Barrett: Okay, alright. So, and the vans are only allowed to have 5 people in them.

525
01:01:10.990 --> 01:01:18.429
Marilyn Barrett: So when we drove out, they drove in the van, and Easton and Emmanuela and I drove in his… in the car that they… that they rented.

526
01:01:18.850 --> 01:01:19.830
Marilyn Barrett: Okay, Bob.

527
01:01:24.270 --> 01:01:29.289
Marilyn Barrett: And so, in this picture, you can see memory on the left.

528
01:01:29.910 --> 01:01:35.879
Marilyn Barrett: you see us, east… on the right, Easton, Emmanuela, myself, and Bob. On the left is,

529
01:01:36.160 --> 01:01:37.550
Marilyn Barrett: That's memory.

530
01:01:38.200 --> 01:01:41.479
Marilyn Barrett: And her husband's eating Tawanda and their son.

531
01:01:41.730 --> 01:01:44.169
Marilyn Barrett: At the end, and he lives in Canada.

532
01:01:45.070 --> 01:01:51.370
Marilyn Barrett: But he was visiting for the summer, he's, during… and he… you can see on the right,

533
01:01:51.550 --> 01:01:53.850
Marilyn Barrett: He's getting his hands washed.

534
01:01:54.780 --> 01:01:56.629
Marilyn Barrett: As they do their tradition.

535
01:01:57.530 --> 01:02:00.830
Marilyn Barrett: That was nice of them. They treated us all to dinner.

536
01:02:06.070 --> 01:02:08.969
Marilyn Barrett: Another view of this restaurant. Go ahead.

537
01:02:11.080 --> 01:02:13.329
Marilyn Barrett: And this is a menu.

538
01:02:13.470 --> 01:02:29.610
Marilyn Barrett: There's not a whole lot of time to read it, but it's pretty funny. The left side is all traditional goat stew, oxtail, there's a vegetarian on there. They all have sads, which is that thick maize porridge that is served

539
01:02:30.160 --> 01:02:32.950
Marilyn Barrett: They make peanut butter rice there.

540
01:02:33.950 --> 01:02:35.039
Marilyn Barrett: Okay, go ahead.

541
01:02:38.090 --> 01:02:55.130
Marilyn Barrett: We are waiting at the corner of the street. It's 11 kilometers. Where we are right here, it's 11 kilometers down the bumpy road to get to the school, and so this is just some random pictures of the difference in driving laws on the right.

542
01:02:55.350 --> 01:03:00.840
Marilyn Barrett: people are… Are in vehicles, in any way, shape, or form.

543
01:03:02.630 --> 01:03:09.239
Marilyn Barrett: On the left, you see the lady that's customary that so many women are… are… carry on their heads so much.

544
01:03:10.620 --> 01:03:12.519
Marilyn Barrett: They carry a lot of,

545
01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:32.280
Marilyn Barrett: baskets full of food, or baskets of laundry, or you name it. They've got it on their… they carry… they learn to carry on their heads from when they're young. On the left side of this is a view of probably the bumpiest part of the road, the 11-kilometer road, into… into the school.

546
01:03:33.810 --> 01:03:37.270
Marilyn Barrett: You know, some of the sites there's a…

547
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:45.230
Marilyn Barrett: Farber carrying some… something, and on the bottom shows the countryside with the big…

548
01:03:46.660 --> 01:03:50.449
Marilyn Barrett: sort of mountain. It shows the countryside of the area there.

549
01:03:52.730 --> 01:03:53.500
Marilyn Barrett: Bye.

550
01:04:02.030 --> 01:04:04.460
Marilyn Barrett: There's no sound, but you can see the…

551
01:04:07.720 --> 01:04:12.679
Marilyn Barrett: Just a little bit of the scenery we encountered as we were driving up the road.

552
01:04:15.600 --> 01:04:21.360
Marilyn Barrett: And we are now at the school. Bob, I would really appreciate it if you could,

553
01:04:21.730 --> 01:04:23.960
Marilyn Barrett: Log out and log back in.

554
01:04:25.390 --> 01:04:27.790
Marilyn Barrett: And see if you can click that button.

555
01:04:29.250 --> 01:04:31.409
Marilyn Barrett: That gets the sound on the video.

556
01:04:37.020 --> 01:04:38.610
Marilyn Barrett: I'll come in there, I'll be right back.

557
01:04:43.260 --> 01:04:47.919
Sheva Carr: Does anyone have any questions while Marilyn and Bob are sorting out their tech?

558
01:04:49.560 --> 01:04:51.949
Sheva Carr: Is there anything you'd like to share?

559
01:04:54.960 --> 01:04:55.730
Margaret Heath: Chevah?

560
01:04:56.170 --> 01:04:57.080
Sheva Carr: Hey, Margaret.

561
01:04:57.080 --> 01:05:01.249
Margaret Heath: I just wanted to ask how far this is from Harari?

562
01:05:02.520 --> 01:05:04.330
Sheva Carr: We'll have to ask Marilyn that.

563
01:05:05.630 --> 01:05:07.830
Sheva Carr: When you say this, witch this.

564
01:05:08.350 --> 01:05:13.130
Margaret Heath: Well, where Easton lives, and then what we were just looking at.

565
01:05:13.130 --> 01:05:14.780
Sheva Carr: lives in Harare.

566
01:05:15.190 --> 01:05:16.890
Margaret Heath: He is in Harare, okay.

567
01:05:19.580 --> 01:05:25.400
Sheva Carr: Yeah, and the, the 911 direct is in Harare.

568
01:05:25.720 --> 01:05:26.370
Margaret Heath: Okay.

569
01:05:26.690 --> 01:05:29.440
Sheva Carr: We bus them out to the rural areas.

570
01:05:29.670 --> 01:05:31.639
Sheva Carr: Or, like, a weekend clinic.

571
01:05:33.100 --> 01:05:37.209
Margaret Heath: So the school, then, is 11 miles from… Where they are.

572
01:05:38.510 --> 01:05:42.189
Sheva Carr: Well, we have 3 different schools that we're working with.

573
01:05:42.650 --> 01:05:45.449
Sheva Carr: Some of them are very far from Harari.

574
01:05:46.670 --> 01:05:53.789
Sheva Carr: I'm not… there's Chikupu, there's Taxinga, which is quite far.

575
01:05:54.080 --> 01:05:59.380
Sheva Carr: Tishinga is the village where UNICEF tried to dig wells six times. They're on a mountaintop.

576
01:06:00.160 --> 01:06:06.589
Sheva Carr: So finally, with using HeartMath, the villagers figured out to dig at the bottom of the hill and pump the water up.

577
01:06:08.040 --> 01:06:13.969
Sheva Carr: And then there's another, orphan school called…

578
01:06:15.600 --> 01:06:18.469
Sheva Carr: Not at the top of my mind right now, so…

579
01:06:19.780 --> 01:06:24.520
Sheva Carr: Quite far, some of them, it takes Easton a full day of travel to get to.

580
01:06:25.460 --> 01:06:26.020
Margaret Heath: Okay.

581
01:06:26.340 --> 01:06:27.219
Margaret Heath: Thank you.

582
01:06:28.380 --> 01:06:30.249
Sheva Carr: Especially in the rainy season.

583
01:06:39.150 --> 01:06:40.739
Sheva Carr: Can you drink the water?

584
01:06:43.700 --> 01:06:47.419
Sheva Carr: I think Michael is asking, can you drink the water?

585
01:06:47.570 --> 01:06:54.399
Sheva Carr: I don't drink any water when I'm traveling anywhere, even to New York.

586
01:06:54.670 --> 01:06:55.520
Sheva Carr: City?

587
01:06:56.180 --> 01:07:01.629
Sheva Carr: without filtering it through my GO water bottle, which you will all see me…

588
01:07:01.630 --> 01:07:03.010
Marilyn Barrett: Rob, I can do it now.

589
01:07:03.740 --> 01:07:04.440
Sheva Carr: Yeah, awesome.

590
01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:05.140
Marilyn Barrett: do it.

591
01:07:05.750 --> 01:07:08.030
Sheva Carr: Marilyn, I'm gonna mute you till you're sorted out.

592
01:07:08.230 --> 01:07:10.950
Sheva Carr: You'll see me sporting proudly.

593
01:07:12.030 --> 01:07:20.780
Sheva Carr: My GO water bottle, for those of you joining us in, Los Altos.

594
01:07:21.140 --> 01:07:27.270
Sheva Carr: I don't go down the road without filtering the water. There's very, very few places in the world, if any.

595
01:07:27.460 --> 01:07:31.490
Sheva Carr: Certainly not in the developed world, where the water is safe to drink right now.

596
01:07:31.760 --> 01:07:38.029
Sheva Carr: Because of the microplastics in it. Marilyn, there's a question coming in if you guys,

597
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:41.729
Sheva Carr: Just, we're able to drink the water as is.

598
01:07:44.660 --> 01:07:48.619
Marilyn Barrett: Never. I never even attempted to drink the water as is.

599
01:07:49.540 --> 01:07:52.869
Marilyn Barrett: The infectious disease doctor told us before we left.

600
01:07:53.990 --> 01:08:03.490
Marilyn Barrett: That even filtered… even water in any place we were drinking water, even if it was filtered through an organization of any kind, we should still drink it in our filtered bottles.

601
01:08:03.490 --> 01:08:04.750
Sheva Carr: Yeah, exactly.

602
01:08:05.210 --> 01:08:20.370
Sheva Carr: You need… and we can share with you guys, in fact, maybe we should do a bulk order for our ambassadors. The water bottles that Robert and I and Sandra used in Mexico City are the only ones that filter viruses as well as protozoa bacteria.

603
01:08:21.010 --> 01:08:25.019
Sheva Carr: They have the tightest micron filter that can be made.

604
01:08:25.729 --> 01:08:31.639
Sheva Carr: And so, you just have to do that pretty much everywhere you go in the world now.

605
01:08:38.370 --> 01:08:46.870
Sheva Carr: So, another question came in from Margaret, how far each place… you did not visit Toshinga, correct? I think Toshinga was way too far for you to get to.

606
01:08:46.870 --> 01:08:50.760
Marilyn Barrett: That's correct, it's hours away. Yeah, it takes him hours to get there.

607
01:08:50.760 --> 01:08:58.540
Sheva Carr: So it's a little closer to Harare, so this is the first school where we… Dug the borehole.

608
01:09:01.510 --> 01:09:02.799
Marilyn Barrett: For me to shut down?

609
01:09:03.250 --> 01:09:06.090
Marilyn Barrett: Yeah, I've got the… I've definitely… you can all see the video?

610
01:09:06.120 --> 01:09:12.879
Sheva Carr: And yes, in answer to Bella's question, we do sponsor children at all three schools in different ways.

611
01:09:13.430 --> 01:09:18.439
Sheva Carr: But the simple answer is yes.

612
01:09:18.979 --> 01:09:24.359
Sheva Carr: Most of you who sponsor children in Zimbabwe sponsor a child at Chicupo.

613
01:09:26.140 --> 01:09:27.210
Sheva Carr: But not all.

614
01:09:36.130 --> 01:09:38.920
Marilyn Barrett: Alright, let's see if this video worked. This was a cute thing.

615
01:09:39.270 --> 01:09:40.560
Marilyn Barrett: Really sweet.

616
01:09:40.700 --> 01:09:45.359
Marilyn Barrett: And, any other questions before we go on?

617
01:09:49.040 --> 01:09:54.260
Marilyn Barrett: Alright, so when… when we pulled up,

618
01:09:54.430 --> 01:10:03.280
Marilyn Barrett: After driving down the road 11 kilometers, this is what we… when we stepped out of the cars, this is what we heard.

619
01:10:04.990 --> 01:10:07.420
Audio shared by Marilyn Barrett: Can you hear it?

620
01:10:21.270 --> 01:10:23.750
Marilyn Barrett: That's just a little taste of what we heard.

621
01:10:24.820 --> 01:10:28.380
Marilyn Barrett: It was overwhelming. It was so beautiful.

622
01:10:28.630 --> 01:10:30.119
Marilyn Barrett: I was so touched.

623
01:10:30.670 --> 01:10:32.770
Marilyn Barrett: I was definitely in tears.

624
01:10:36.350 --> 01:10:42.320
Sheva Carr: Yeah, I mean, the level of gratitude I receive weekly… Sometimes.

625
01:10:43.190 --> 01:10:47.459
Sheva Carr: from the emails from the teachers, from Tawanda and memory.

626
01:10:48.120 --> 01:10:57.800
Sheva Carr: For the water we've provided, for the support we provide the children, anytime they have a need.

627
01:10:58.390 --> 01:11:04.620
Sheva Carr: I receive a full page of gratitude before the ask in the one sentence at the end.

628
01:11:05.690 --> 01:11:12.910
Sheva Carr: I'll get this massive gratitude letter for the ways that all the work all of you and all of us have done there.

629
01:11:13.320 --> 01:11:21.199
Sheva Carr: It's helping, and then the last sentence will be, oh, by the way, we have no water pressure left in the well, could we get a booster pump for $1,000?

630
01:11:25.210 --> 01:11:31.329
Sheva Carr: I have to read their letters all the way to the end to find out why they're writing, because there's so much gratitude.

631
01:11:37.460 --> 01:11:41.409
Marilyn Barrett: So, I do want to preface by saying this experience was…

632
01:11:43.180 --> 01:11:48.970
Marilyn Barrett: pretty overwhelming for me. I… I know I was… I thought we were going…

633
01:11:49.240 --> 01:11:55.709
Marilyn Barrett: To work with some kids and teach them some quick coherence, and they had a whole program prepared.

634
01:11:56.160 --> 01:12:01.609
Marilyn Barrett: with gratitude, a poem, so I have a lot of that to show you.

635
01:12:01.940 --> 01:12:06.179
Marilyn Barrett: I… I… I kept thinking, I, I was thinking, I kept thinking to myself.

636
01:12:06.370 --> 01:12:13.530
Marilyn Barrett: I'm a representative, but I wasn't a decision maker, you know? Why did… why… why me?

637
01:12:16.660 --> 01:12:21.550
Marilyn Barrett: It was really beautiful, and I was so grateful, and I felt so much love.

638
01:12:22.380 --> 01:12:26.019
Marilyn Barrett: At the same time, let's see, there's a song…

639
01:12:28.600 --> 01:12:33.299
Marilyn Barrett: This is another picture of the kids, they're singing their national anthem.

640
01:12:34.430 --> 01:12:41.129
Marilyn Barrett: I have a lot of little recordings. I don't have to play them all, so please stop me if I should move on.

641
01:13:13.670 --> 01:13:15.170
Audio shared by Marilyn Barrett: Let's see, bye!

642
01:13:36.860 --> 01:13:42.939
Marilyn Barrett: On the left side of the video, for a moment, you saw all the women that came in from the village for medical treatment.

643
01:13:45.850 --> 01:13:49.799
Marilyn Barrett: But this is a… There were probably…

644
01:13:50.240 --> 01:14:00.109
Marilyn Barrett: 200-plus children, and they had them all arranged, Jean Marie. They had them completely arranged by height, so that the younger children were in the front.

645
01:14:00.530 --> 01:14:06.909
Marilyn Barrett: And then, you know, the next row would be the next grade level. So they were sort of by grade level, but

646
01:14:07.200 --> 01:14:11.899
Marilyn Barrett: So you could see all the children, because the tallest ones were in the back.

647
01:14:13.470 --> 01:14:17.160
Marilyn Barrett: They had a whole program, for us.

648
01:14:19.210 --> 01:14:30.210
Marilyn Barrett: And it was funny, Bob, they thought Bob was the guest… Bob was the… became the best, the guest of honor. They asked him to say something.

649
01:14:31.670 --> 01:14:37.689
Marilyn Barrett: he passed on that, and Easton told me I could get… I should get a… he gave me warning that I should be prepared to say something.

650
01:14:38.780 --> 01:14:47.869
Marilyn Barrett: Which was really heartwarming for me, almost overwhelming. So, here's a little introduction. This is a moment of introducing us to

651
01:14:47.970 --> 01:14:49.100

701

709
01:21:10.550 --> 01:21:11.810

710
01:21:11.810 --> 01:21:14.899

Marilyn Barrett: They're hand washing, and…

717
01:21:48.300 --> 01:21:55.230
Marilyn Barrett: they, they… they, they provided lunch for everybody. I thought it was significant to say that

718
01:21:55.550 --> 01:22:07.770
Marilyn Barrett: Easton kept telling me that they're… they're not used to people participating in their lunch like there's, and they were surprised that we agreed to have lunch with them.

719
01:22:11.610 --> 01:22:14.130
Marilyn Barrett: I… I said, okay, I… I…

720
01:22:14.490 --> 01:22:18.919
Marilyn Barrett: I can hear that there's people that would hesitate to have lunch there, but…

721
01:22:20.200 --> 01:22:29.869
Marilyn Barrett: we ate in this classroom, and I was grateful to participate, and they were so kind and cur… they were just so kind about the whole thing, they were so kind.

722
01:22:30.580 --> 01:22:40.559
Marilyn Barrett: So here is the extension of the well, and that picture on the right has a couple of trucks from a local church, because one of the

723
01:22:40.920 --> 01:22:46.599
Marilyn Barrett: One of the, One of the areas where you fill up

724
01:22:47.230 --> 01:23:05.199
Marilyn Barrett: that goes out toward the street for the local… the local community, so that was a picture of them coming. They've got trucks full of water containers to fill up their water. Here is the borehole, and it is… it's run. There's the solar panels. On the right, you see the solar panels connected.

725
01:23:05.320 --> 01:23:08.810
Marilyn Barrett: To the water container at the top of the…

726
01:23:08.920 --> 01:23:11.420
Marilyn Barrett: Of the holder for the water container.

727
01:23:12.680 --> 01:23:16.300
Marilyn Barrett: On the left, you can see that as a result of having

728
01:23:16.430 --> 01:23:21.489
Marilyn Barrett: The borehole build, they actually were able to build a bathroom for the staff.

729
01:23:22.940 --> 01:23:29.500
Marilyn Barrett: On the right side, Is, where the rest of the students,

730
01:23:29.810 --> 01:23:36.409
Marilyn Barrett: I didn't actually go over there and go inside, but there's a lot of bathrooms for the students, you can see on the right.

731
01:23:38.600 --> 01:23:55.899
Marilyn Barrett: And this is another something that they built. It says, drugs ruin lives, and it's, it's a picture of the teacher and the directors, and the, water that's coming out of this structure that they built with spouts for… to, fill water bottles and such.

732
01:23:57.410 --> 01:24:10.619
Marilyn Barrett: The right side is actually where some of the staff sleep when they don't go home on the weekends. Many of them go home on the weekends. The left side will be a store of some kind, and that's the structure that started

733
01:24:11.550 --> 01:24:15.070
Marilyn Barrett: A brick structure that started for them to have some sort of store.

734
01:24:15.070 --> 01:24:18.110
Sheva Carr: Well, part of that is because with water.

735
01:24:18.670 --> 01:24:26.200
Sheva Carr: For a while, we've been working on a sustainable garden that regenerates the soil in Shikupu, and they can sell the produce.

736
01:24:27.180 --> 01:24:27.970
Marilyn Barrett: Oh, okay.

737
01:24:28.010 --> 01:24:28.980
Sheva Carr: Okay.

738
01:24:30.020 --> 01:24:34.770
Sheva Carr: You know, cook some of it and have a restaurant, but… So,

739
01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:38.650
Sheva Carr: Water brings every aspect of life.

740
01:24:39.960 --> 01:24:46.800
Sheva Carr: And actually, this whole project is part of what caught the eye of the Consul General of Mexico.

741
01:24:47.730 --> 01:24:54.759
Sheva Carr: And now inviting us back to Mexico in the area of Chiapas, because they want to duplicate this kind of

742
01:24:55.180 --> 01:24:56.929
Sheva Carr: effort in Chiapas.

743
01:24:59.510 --> 01:25:01.170
Marilyn Barrett: Chapuco and Chiapas.

744
01:25:01.400 --> 01:25:07.230
Sheva Carr: Maybe they'll become sister cities. Well, Chiapas is a state, but… Yes.

745
01:25:12.230 --> 01:25:15.599
Marilyn Barrett: So this is the early childhood development.

746
01:25:15.870 --> 01:25:16.980
Marilyn Barrett: building.

747
01:25:17.620 --> 01:25:21.010
Marilyn Barrett: This is what… this is their,

748
01:25:21.500 --> 01:25:30.720
Marilyn Barrett: playground equipment. You can see swings on the left, and on the right, you can actually see a teeter-totter that they did, the makeshift teeter-totter. Can everybody see that on the right?

749
01:25:33.030 --> 01:25:38.929
Marilyn Barrett: What they told me was the most important thing they need there right now were toys.

750
01:25:39.420 --> 01:25:44.899
Marilyn Barrett: For the early childhood block, because the children need to learn through play.

751
01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:48.139
Marilyn Barrett: This is, on the left side, is a picture

752
01:25:48.950 --> 01:25:54.099
Marilyn Barrett: Of the early childhood, room inside the early childhood building.

753
01:25:54.240 --> 01:25:58.999
Marilyn Barrett: They tried to make it colorful. They've got,

754
01:25:59.130 --> 01:26:02.410
Marilyn Barrett: They tried very hard to make it colorful and fun in their…

755
01:26:02.690 --> 01:26:07.300
Lynne Jensen: On the right side, you can see their bathroom looks like it might need an update.

756
01:26:07.710 --> 01:26:09.250
Marilyn Barrett: Didn't go inside.

757
01:26:10.700 --> 01:26:15.000
Sheva Carr: By the way, children in the developed world need this too.

758
01:26:15.480 --> 01:26:19.510
Sheva Carr: I don't know if any of you have read or are reading the book.

759
01:26:20.080 --> 01:26:22.189
Sheva Carr: The anxious generation.

760
01:26:23.110 --> 01:26:26.700
Sheva Carr: But that cell phone that you saw Easton's child on?

761
01:26:27.350 --> 01:26:30.579
Sheva Carr: That has rewired the human brain.

762
01:26:31.190 --> 01:26:38.510
Sheva Carr: And children are not going through the proper phases of early childhood development any longer because they're on phones.

763
01:26:40.890 --> 01:26:48.300
Sheva Carr: And so, there is a whole movement and campaign to get toys and jungle gyms back

764
01:26:48.700 --> 01:26:51.349
Sheva Carr: In the early childhood experience.

765
01:26:52.350 --> 01:27:01.030
Sheva Carr: So, another place where our advancements in technology have taken us backward rather than forward.

766
01:27:01.230 --> 01:27:03.469
Marilyn Barrett: Yeah, thank you for that.

767
01:27:05.530 --> 01:27:14.670
Marilyn Barrett: This is a list I'll send you. She, at the time, these were… this was at the top, a list of anticipated donations.

768
01:27:17.680 --> 01:27:19.950
Marilyn Barrett: Which, I will send you this list.

769
01:27:22.840 --> 01:27:26.909
Marilyn Barrett: This is the soccer field, and the kids are playing soccer.

770
01:27:28.470 --> 01:27:33.620
Marilyn Barrett: And it was, by the way, it was a pretty warm day. They're dressed fairly…

771
01:27:34.700 --> 01:27:37.200
Marilyn Barrett: They have long pants and coats on.

772
01:27:38.050 --> 01:27:46.129
Marilyn Barrett: So, just picture taking time. This is some of us, and, you know, Easton, and myself, and Emmanuella, and the director, and some of the

773
01:27:46.280 --> 01:27:48.919
Marilyn Barrett: Local people who came in for healthcare.

774
01:27:51.570 --> 01:28:02.089
Marilyn Barrett: And then we left… so that… this is just about the end. We left Chipuco, and these are just, pictures, along the road as we're leaving.

775
01:28:03.300 --> 01:28:07.369
Marilyn Barrett: The one on the left, you can see they hang out all their laundry.

776
01:28:09.100 --> 01:28:12.330
Marilyn Barrett: Just a picture of the countryside and a home.

777
01:28:15.170 --> 01:28:18.099
Marilyn Barrett: More just pictures of countryside and home.

778
01:28:19.150 --> 01:28:21.640
Marilyn Barrett: And someone's selling bananas.

779
01:28:23.900 --> 01:28:30.389
Marilyn Barrett: This is a picture of… this is quick. This is… we went to see Easton's parents and their home.

780
01:28:31.430 --> 01:28:43.900
Marilyn Barrett: And he has a large, what I call, homestead. He's got his home, he's got a couple other homes in a separate building as well. His home, two homes that he runs, a large garden, a chicken coop.

781
01:28:44.140 --> 01:28:47.289
Marilyn Barrett: And then a separate building, which is behind the people

782
01:28:47.430 --> 01:28:51.389
Marilyn Barrett: Those of us on the right side, is… there's the building behind them.

783
01:28:51.670 --> 01:28:59.099
Marilyn Barrett: I'm gonna show you. So, let's see, his father is on the right, his mother's in the middle, I believe that's his nephew.

784
01:28:59.820 --> 01:29:00.929
Marilyn Barrett: On the left.

785
01:29:01.760 --> 01:29:06.870
Marilyn Barrett: That's the chicken coop, and he has his own borehole, which he shares with the community.

786
01:29:08.080 --> 01:29:09.949
Marilyn Barrett: It's his garden.

787
01:29:10.810 --> 01:29:14.480
Marilyn Barrett: A little cute little guy, and all the laundry hanging out.

788
01:29:15.500 --> 01:29:22.260
Marilyn Barrett: So, on the right are the buildings that are rented out. On the left, I'm going to show you what's on the left. There's an outhouse.

789
01:29:22.820 --> 01:29:40.260
Marilyn Barrett: This is his niece's school. On the left is the schoolroom that's present, the present schoolroom, and then the divider in the middle, and then the right side is her dream of a larger… it's actually a much larger room that she would like to finish. She's teaching school with a baby on her back.

790
01:29:45.450 --> 01:29:46.769
Marilyn Barrett: And we closed the…

791
01:29:47.060 --> 01:29:52.910
Marilyn Barrett: the Zimbabwe with… I've mailed those letters on June 20th, and they arrived on August 4th.

792
01:29:57.340 --> 01:30:00.290
Marilyn Barrett: Are there any questions before I stop the screen share?

793
01:30:17.400 --> 01:30:24.569
Marilyn Barrett: The experience was pretty moving for me, and… I'm still… Processing and up-leveling from it.

794
01:30:27.620 --> 01:30:28.380
Marilyn Barrett: We're good.

795
01:30:35.660 --> 01:30:42.669
jeannemarie: Marilyn, was your primary source of culture shock that everybody did so much with so little?

796
01:30:46.610 --> 01:30:53.999
Marilyn Barrett: I think it was more, you know, recently I more came in touch with

797
01:30:54.800 --> 01:30:57.170
Marilyn Barrett: more of the guilt that I felt.

798
01:30:57.630 --> 01:30:59.530
Marilyn Barrett: Because we have so much.

799
01:31:02.920 --> 01:31:06.030
Marilyn Barrett: Though I'm aware of the resilience that they have.

800
01:31:08.370 --> 01:31:13.869
Marilyn Barrett: But I think it was a lot of some of the guilt that I felt, because we have so much.

801
01:31:14.650 --> 01:31:15.280
jeannemarie: Yeah.

802
01:31:15.880 --> 01:31:26.269
jeannemarie: I experienced that when I went to South Africa. I came home, and I was just shocked as hell. When I went into a store, I'm like, whoa, why are there so many of… so many of everything?

803
01:31:27.620 --> 01:31:28.470
Marilyn Barrett: Right.

804
01:31:36.340 --> 01:31:37.730
Marilyn Barrett: Thank you for the question.

805
01:31:43.050 --> 01:31:47.919
Marilyn Barrett: after we left Zimbabwe, we… we did a… we did traditional,

806
01:31:49.030 --> 01:31:54.179
Marilyn Barrett: a safari, we went to Zambia, and we went… did some safaris, and…

807
01:31:54.490 --> 01:31:56.759
Marilyn Barrett: That's… that's for another time, but…

808
01:31:59.340 --> 01:32:02.039
Marilyn Barrett: I think it's a little after 1, so…

809
01:32:03.390 --> 01:32:08.949
Sheva Carr: Yeah, it could be neat, Marilyn, to have you maybe join the Conscious Animal Lovers movement.

810
01:32:11.600 --> 01:32:18.879
Sheva Carr: calls that are now happening weekly on Wednesday, for those who don't know. It's a new service of Heart Ambassadors.

811
01:32:19.880 --> 01:32:27.630
Sheva Carr: Every Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. Pacific time, the Conscious Animal Lovers Movement gathers to send love to animals.

812
01:32:28.300 --> 01:32:29.130
Marilyn Barrett: Hmm.

813
01:32:29.250 --> 01:32:33.779
Sheva Carr: Arrange to have you share your Safari as in one of those calls.

814
01:32:37.900 --> 01:32:42.760
Marilyn Barrett: Yeah, it definitely shows the… how the animals have been habituated.

815
01:32:42.940 --> 01:32:44.460
Marilyn Barrett: Buy all the vehicles.

816
01:32:45.450 --> 01:32:47.909
Marilyn Barrett: Or I would say invaded by the vehicles.

817
01:32:49.980 --> 01:32:50.680
Marilyn Barrett: Yeah.

818
01:32:56.080 --> 01:32:58.760
Sheva Carr: Though we closed with a heart lock-in.

819
01:32:59.480 --> 01:33:00.380
Marilyn Barrett: I would love that.

820
01:33:01.950 --> 01:33:09.319
Sheva Carr: So that we can send love to all those lives we got to witness and be a part of, and…

821
01:33:11.580 --> 01:33:17.189
Sheva Carr: They'd open their homes, their hearts, their health…

822
01:33:17.950 --> 01:33:20.359
Sheva Carr: And their need for help to us?

823
01:33:22.770 --> 01:33:27.669
Sheva Carr: We just… Take a moment to focus attention.

824
01:33:28.730 --> 01:33:36.200
Sheva Carr: attention… In the area around… The chest area.

825
01:33:38.020 --> 01:33:40.100
Sheva Carr: Imagine the breath.

826
01:33:41.820 --> 01:33:46.200
Sheva Carr: It's flowing in through the heart and out through the heart.

827
01:33:50.650 --> 01:33:54.540
Sheva Carr: Feeling a little slower, a little deeper than usual.

828
01:34:00.500 --> 01:34:04.479
Sheva Carr: If it's helpful, counting as you breathe in.

829
01:34:08.000 --> 01:34:10.620
Sheva Carr: Counting as you breathe out.

830
01:34:15.150 --> 01:34:19.930
Sheva Carr: And where we began, but perhaps richer for the trip.

831
01:34:20.920 --> 01:34:23.039
Sheva Carr: In love and connection.

832
01:34:25.490 --> 01:34:28.480
Sheva Carr: Then we'll rest, radiating that.

833
01:34:28.930 --> 01:34:32.359
Sheva Carr: to Maryland, and Bob and Zimbabwe, and…

834
01:34:35.800 --> 01:34:38.620
Sheva Carr: Let that ripple out to the whole world.

835
01:40:50.750 --> 01:40:56.540
Sheva Carr: Much love, everyone. Thank you so much. Thank you, Marilyn. Thank you all.

836
01:40:59.580 --> 01:41:01.530
Melinda Dewey: Thank you so much, Marilyn.

837
01:41:01.890 --> 01:41:03.489
Melinda Dewey: Thank you. Thank you.

838
01:41:04.550 --> 01:41:05.560
Jane Washburn: Marilyn and Bob.
