Editor's Note: Robert Eggar, a close friend of my DC relatives who have worked in his kitchen once a week since it opened, points out in his book that the first step we can do as givers of our time and money is to ask “how” and “why” instead of “who” and “what”, a philosophy that has shaped our foundation. I had the pleasure of hearing Eggar speak a few years back and was moved by his compelling personal story and passion for helping the poor.
