Steve is the founder and Executive Director of Our Response, a united effort of East Central Minnesota to respond to global poverty, disease and suffering. Through these humanitarian efforts, Steve learned about “Umuganda”, the idea of deep community that includes a monthly work day in Rwanda that everyone participates in.
