	Hello! Good evening, everyone from Pakistan
09:12:24 From Richard R to Everyone:
	Is there a cultural history in Uganda that encourages large families, and is there a way to change that?
09:18:04 From Richard R to Everyone:
	Has aid from European countries also decreased, perhaps because of increases in their defense spending?
09:24:59 From Dr. Mansoor Ali Darazi to Everyone:
	Thank you!
09:26:41 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone:

09:42:48 From Shannon B to Everyone:
	What organizations are in place to replace USAID?
09:42:59 From Grace to Everyone:
	As a supporter of population connection, I would like to see more effort to bring the notion of outsized and rapid population growth to educate the masses.  It's a very   hard sell but has there been any outreach to progressive billionaires to get funding to promote messaging? Instead the right is encouraging more white births!  We need to counteract this.
09:44:23 From Florence Blondel to Everyone:
	Great insights, Margaret and Robert.❤️
09:53:00 From Shannon B to Everyone:
	When I was in the Peace Corps in Africa, men often refused to help their wives have fewer children. Is that still a big problem?

	Great sharing Margaret and Robert.
09:55:25 From Virginia S to Everyone:
	Thank you to Robert and Margaret for explaining the population and environmental problems they now face.
09:55:51 From Marian Starkey to Everyone:
	@Grace, there are a few billionaires who have strongly supported family planning: Melinda Gates, Warren Buffett, George Soros, MacKenzie Scott, Elaine Wynn, and Sheryl Sandberg
10:01:58 From Virginia S to Everyone:
	We live in a finite world and it is difficult for most people to understand this.
10:02:37 From Grace to Everyone:
	We need a full press on educating public opinion so that we can get the groundswell of public support needed to stop these deleterious funding cuts such as the one in USAID!
