There is the old axiom about things happening in threes and a recent experience with this has made me contemplate how we view and promote our profession of fundraising.

First, I heard Archbishop Desmond Tutu speak at the AFP International Conference in Baltimore where he told 3,000 plus fundraisers that we have ‘a noble calling’. And that through our work children around the world are fed, human rights are fought for and supported, sick people are taken care of and children are educated. It was moving, eloquent and hugely affirming of our profession."
