Hello and welcome to the Baha’i Blogcast with me your host, Rainn Wilson.
In this series of podcasts I interview members of the Baha’i Faith and friends from all over the world about their hearts, and minds, and souls, their spiritual journeys, what they’re interested in, and what makes them tick.
In this episode I have the delightful Mam-Yassin Sarr and her husband, David Fox, visiting me at my home in California. They are visiting me from The Gambia in West Africa, and they are the founders of Starfish International, a non-profit dedicated to educating and empowering girls in The Gambia. In this conversation we talk about how they met, how each of them discovered the Baha’i Faith, and the inspiration behind Starfish International. We also talk about life in The Gambia, international conflict and racism, and the awesome transformative power of education. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

Absolutely wonderful! Splendid couple, whom I feel in some way I already know, educating girls in The Gambia and thereby making the world a better place by shining the incandescent light of their loving-kindness. Just with Rainn’s & his wife’s (& friend Kathryn’s) foundation in Haiti, this is a wonderful example of the Baha’i Faith in action, promoting lasting positive societal change, one child at a time.
