SS007 | Joe Chedly We talk story

I met Joe in Madagascar in 2013 and 2014. He was an energetic young man who asked me all kinds of difficult questions. During my visit to Madagascar, I appreciated the few who could speak English in a French / Malagasy world. Joe was one of them.



Some topics we covered during our conversation:

Crazy dreams of a village boy from the jungle of Madagascar

The hard life of growing up, working hard to eat.

How to beat a life of poverty

Financial challenges - if people can see what you can see and you can communicate that, people are willing to help you.

Racial challenges - Have a big heart to forgive. Remember, I am more valuable than how people treat me.

Taiwanese culture: Value security for their children and care about their children.

Cross-cultural marriage, if you put your culture first, you will struggle!

You create culture through your marriage, and something beautiful can come from it.

Communication is key.

Not judging, championing young people.

Finding my identity gives you the freedom to sparkling and shining to other people.

A key for cross-cultural engagement is asking questions. Questions to make people think.

How people react to a black man in Taiwan.

Dreamer/visionary: God changed my heart towards my nation.

Money only has value if you can use it.

Help the dreamers of Madagascar!

Behind the story: Behind a successful story is the years of suffering and struggles.

Helping people

Mind the gap - there is a gap, so know and understand the gap.

Go on a journey and not saying no even though there is a lot to overcome.
