Welcome to the presentation of a paper Unbounded Hierarchical Identity-Based Encryption with Tide Security. My name is Roman Lager and this is joint work with Chashin Pan. In the beginning of the talk I will briefly explain what unbounded HIP is and what Tide Security means. Then I will talk about related works, give a technical overview of our construction and finally some ideas for future work. Suppose Alice wants to send a message to Bob and use identity-based encryption to encrypt it. Then she needs a master public key that is issued by some trusted third party and an identity of Bob to encrypt the message. An identity can be any string that uniquely identifies a recipient, so for example an email address. And to decrypt, Bob proves to the trusted third party that he is the legitimate owner of his identity and then the trusted third party will give him a user-secret key for his identity and with this user-secret key he will be able to decrypt messages that were encrypted for his identity but not other messages. In hierarchical identity-based encryption we don't have a single authority that generates all the user-secret keys but the hierarchy of key generators. More precisely, identities are tuples and everybody can generate a user-secret key for someone else if his identity is a prefix of the other guy's identity. So for example, the user here can generate the user-secret keys for these guys down here but not for the ones over here. Now usually when you talk about H-I-B-E you actually mean bounded H-I-B-E, that is the hierarchy depth is fixed in advance. This is usually necessary because the master public key grows with L, so with the hierarchy depth or the user-secret keys have some delegation terms and these delegation terms grow with a number of remaining levels. Unmonet H-I-B-E however has no limit on the hierarchy depth. This is of course better because it's more flexible, you don't have to fix the hierarchy depth in advance and it's also better scalability because you only need to pay for the levels that you actually need. Here's the security game for H-I-B-E schemes, so in the beginning the adversary gets the master public key and then he gets access to two oracles. The first one is to corrupt the user, so there he sends an identity and gets back the user-secret key for this identity. The other oracle, he sends a challenge identity and two messages and gets an encryption of one of these messages under this challenge identity and which message depends on a bit that the challenger chooses in the beginning and the adversary wins this game if he can guess correctly the bit that the challenger chooses. Of course, the adversary is not allowed to ask a user-secret key for the challenge identity or any prefix of a challenge identity because then he can just decrypt the challenge ciphertext and trivially win this game. Now with CCA security, that is basically the same just that the adversary has access to a third oracle that can decrypt ciphertexts for him except the challenge ciphertext. It's easy to achieve once you have CPA security because there's a generic transformation for H-I-B-E schemes from CPA secure ones to CCA secure ones. And finally, we will also achieve key-dependent message security so that these messages can depend on the master-secret key because Gwark, Gaye and Hachi Badi presented at PK thesis year of work that showed how to achieve this for I-B-E schemes and it can also be applied to our unbounded H-I-B-E scheme. Now what does tide security mean?  And this reduction guarantees us that when the scheme can be broken with probability epsilon using some resources row the underlying assumption can be broken for a fair comparison let's say with approximately the same resources row with some probability epsilon divided by L and this L is called the security loss. Now as long as L is polynomial the scheme is considered to be secure but the larger L gets the larger you have to choose your security parameter for some specific level of security so you want this L to be as small as possible. The security loss can depend on all kinds of things for example the security parameter or the attackers resources so for example the number of user-secret key queries issues but for tide security we allow it only to depend on things that the adversary cannot control so not on the attackers resources. So in particular in our setting it may not depend on the number of users he corrupts not on the number of challenge cipher texts he receives and not on the actual hierarchy depth that is the maximum length of any identity that the adversary chooses because well an unbounded HIV the adversary can choose the hierarchy depth as large as he wants as well. Here's a brief history of unbounded HIV scheme. First construction was given by Luca and Waters in 2011 and composite order pairing groups and later generalized or modified by Luca to prime order pairing groups and Gong et al. later gave an improvement of the scheme that basically introduced the trade of between master public key size on the one hand and user-secret key and cipher text size on the other hand. Also Okamoto and Takashima gave a construction of unbounded HIV but they only achieve a weakly unbounded HIV namely they have a master public key that is independent of the hierarchy depth but the user-secret keys are not independent. That's basically because they have delegation terms. In our work we give a construction of unbounded IBE also in prime order pairing groups that is tied to secure. That is our security loss depends only on the output bit lengths of a collision resistant hash function in the multi-challenge setting and a security game that I presented before. The other constructions only have a security loss that grows with a number of user-secret key queries and the actual hierarchy depth, so LSE of course also something that the adversary chooses and they are also only in the single-challenge setting so only one challenge query is allowed. The single-challenge setting is equivalent to the multi-challenge setting but this transformation is not tied. So when you are interested in tied security it's better to look at the multi-challenge setting directly. Now to tied IV schemes. For IV schemes there are a lot of constructions that are known that are tightly secure. The first one was by Chen and we in 2013 in the single-challenge setting and later also some constructions in the multi-challenge setting followed. Now tied HIV schemes or the first tied construction of unbounded HIV scheme was given by Jatine Pan and me at PKC last year in the single-challenge setting and at PKC this year we gave a construction in the multi-challenge setting. Now let's forget to move from our bounded HIV schemes that are tightly secure to an unbounded HIV scheme. Well, here's one of the construction that we achieved that we presented at PKC this year and as you can see the master public key grows with a number of levels and also the security loss. So for bounded HIV this is okay because this L is not under the adversary's control but in the unbounded setting it suddenly is because now it's the maximum length of an identity that the adversary uses. So we need to get rid of this factor L and the security loss and the master public key. But luckily we can focus on getting rid of it in the master public key then it will basically automatically disappear also in the security loss. Here's the high level approach of our construction. So our starting point is a tight IBE scheme and the bounded HIV scheme is in some sense constructed by using a different instance of this IBE scheme for each level, of course there in some way and some sense connected together. And for our unbounded HIV scheme our high level approach will be to use the same instance of the IBE schemes for all the levels. Here's the basic structure of the IBE scheme that we use. So the user secret key consists of master secret key but this master secret key is blinded by some blinding term that depends on the identity and the spying term is also randomized. Now a cipher text looks as follows and has a dual blinding term for the identity also the dual blinding terms are randomized and the cipher text or you can think of this as the payload. Now this payload is encrypted with the same randomness as the blinding term and a property of these blinding terms and dual blinding terms is that the dual blinding term multiplied with a normal blinding term cancels out if the identity is matched. If not you will get some random output. So for the encryption you use this dual blinding term multiplied with the user secret key and what remains is basically the product of this randomness age with the master secret key and this is sufficient to decrypt the cipher text here because it has the same randomness. Okay, now more to these blinding terms. As I just explained they have the following property that the blinding term multiplied with the dual blinding term this multiplication is carried out with a pairing. They cancels out so they yield zero. Another property that is important for the security proof is that this blinding term is pseudo random so it will basically hide the master secret key in the previous example. But of course it's only pseudo random if you don't know a dual blinding term for the same value x because then you could use the first property to distinguish a real blinding term from a random value. Furthermore these blinding terms are publicly sampled but unfortunately that dual blinding terms are not publicly sampled. Well they can't be publicly sampled because then again you could generate one for a value x here and this could not pseudo random. So you might wonder how you could generate the ciphertext then in the previous example. Well actually you need these blinding terms only for a semi-functional ciphertext and the normal ciphertext that you normally use they will cancel out these blinding terms no matter whether it's an honest one or just a random value. But the semi-functional one that are ciphertexts that we use in the security proof they need this dual blinding term. And the first contribution of our paper is to give a tight realisation of these blinding terms. This is basically an abstraction of our PKC work. Now here's how you can use these blinding terms to get bounded HIV. So basically what we did in our PKC work. Namely you use L different instances and now for all the levels and the user secret key is now a sum of these blinding terms and namely for every level you sum up a blinding term that depends on the first i components of the identity. And finally add the master secret key. Now you might wonder why the first i components and not only the last one, only the i's one. Well that is necessary because only on the last level we will get the security guarantee that this is pseudo random because for all the other levels the adversary is actually allowed to query a challenge ciphertext so he can learn a dual blinding term for all the other levels except the last one. So we need on the last level all the information about the identity to ensure that this is pseudo random. Now delegation is here quite simple because these blinding terms are publicly sampled so you can delegate use secret key by just sampling a new blinding term for the next level and add it to your use secret key. Ciphertext now look as follows you have all these dual blinding terms they all use the same randomness h and also the payload is again encrypted with this randomness h and then you can use these dual blinding terms to cancel out all of these blinding terms you have here and again you will end up with a product of h and a master secret key and this can be used to decrypt this ciphertext over here. Now for unbounded h IBE the problem here is that now the master public key has size n times l squared well n times l because the size of the blinding terms or the terms that you need to publicly sample them grow with a bit lengths of the input so in this case this is up to n times l and the other factor factor of l comes from the fact that we use a different blinding term for each level or different instance of these blinding terms. Now the first improvement is simple namely we take a collision resistant hash function and use it to hash these prefixes of the identity here and here and this idea was already presented in our pkc work and this way we get this master public key size of gamma times l where gamma is the output bit lengths of the hash function. Now to get rid of this second factor of l is quite tricky. What we basically do is we use the same blinding terms for all the levels so we move this level i here it's the same one for all the levels but this causes some problems in the security proof and on a high level what the problem is is that we need to do different things with these blinding terms in the ciphertext because they are different blinding terms for different values before this was not a problem because these were completely independent blinding terms but now they have the same blinding terms and to deal with this problem the solution is basically to use a different randomness for each level so instead of this h that's the same for all levels we use a different randomness for each level but this causes more problems for example or basically you cannot sum up here any more of these blinding terms so here's the final structure of our unbounded HIV scheme and on a high level this is simple similar to what also Luca and Waters did so we have the blinding terms as before but this time they are not summed up instead we have them separately for each level and they don't hide the master secret key but instead we have here some additional in direction layer so to say namely they hide each of them hides a blinding term for some fixed value let's say 1 this blinding term has a different randomness and then we use another blinding terms for some fixed value let's say 2 that use the same randomness and they are summed up of all the levels and they hide the master secret key then now the ciphertext Luca's follows they have all these dual blinding terms for individual randomness on each level and also a dual blinding term for 1 that use the same randomness as for blinding terms here and this is added to a dual blinding term for 2 and these dual blinding terms for 2 they use now the same randomness for all the levels and this randomness is then also used to encrypt the payload now how does decryption work? well first of all you multiply these dual blinding terms with the values you have up here so that is stuff that depends on the identity cancels out what will remain is basically the product of this hi with these blinding terms for 1 the next thing you do is you take the values down here and multiply them with a first value here so then these blinding terms for 2 and the dual one will cancel out and what will remain is what you want namely the product of this hq term with the master secret key but also the dual blinding terms for 1 and basically the dual blinding terms for 1 get multiplied with the randomness ti q that we have here but these values are exactly the same that also remained in this multiplication before so we just need to subtract the result that you had before from the result here and then you get the value you want now to the security proof well at least on the last level these blinding terms are pseudo random so they basically hide the blinding term for 1 we don't need to care about the other levels than the last one because there we basically can use a normal way to generate the use secret key not the semi-functional one okay so this basically hides the blinding term for 1 and this means that we have some entropy in here because this is now the only place where the dual blinding terms for 1 are used we can now move this entropy to the dual blinding term for 2 to hide so to say these dual blinding terms well then the blinding terms for 2 appear at least on the last level gets random so the entropy moves up here and there the entropy finally hides the master secret key so that's the high level idea of the security proof now here's a comparison of our unwanted HIV to previous constructions so we have a very similar assumption but this time with a tight security reduction in the multi-channel setting the use secret key and ciphertext size is very similar to the previous construction namely it grows linear with the length of the identity but the price you have to pay for this tight security reduction is a larger master public key namely the non tight schemes had constant size master public key ours has a master public key that grows with a bit length output bit length of a collision resistant hash function basically with a security parameter but besides this tight security reduction our scheme is also the first one that achieves key dependent message security together with this work by Garg et al from PKC this year because they basically gave a construction that uses tight multi-channel secure IBE schemes to get master key KDM secure IBE schemes and the same idea can be applied to our scheme so it gives the first unbounded HIV scheme with master key KDM security okay finally here are two ideas for future work the first one is whether this inject and pack strategy that we use so inject means this blinding terms that inject randomness into a use secret keys and pack this mechanism of moving this randomness around until it finally hides a master secret key whether the strategy is helpful in a more general setting so like for example for general predicate encryption schemes and the second one is whether we can have unbounded HIV scheme with constant size to the secret key and ciphertext nice because as you've just seen all the constructions now suffer from use secret key and ciphertext size that grow with a bit or with a length of the identities this is basically the only thing that prevents you from using the HIV for very large hierarchies thanks for your attention


Good afternoon and welcome back to the touchline on Y254, Max Olazike is my name, this time round we're going to speak about the state of rugby in the country in the wake of relegation of Kenya National Rugby Sevens team Shujja from HSBC World Seven series, remember they were locking horns against Canada and they lost that particular fixture and prior to that fixture there was Unwavering rallying from a million of Kenyans led by Cabinet Secretary Zababu Namwamba and Elido while releasing a video clip saying how they are supporting Shujja to win against Canada so that remain HSBC World Seven series, something that failed to materialize and of course we are delving into that particular conversation with one person who has been a news maker on social media platforms Rallying behind Kabras Rugby football club in the local Kenya Cup scene, Jerima, good to see you, how are you doing? Good Imakilele, what inspires you to push for all this? I love supporting the boys, I've actually been to the legs in Vegas when I was in the US, so we would go there, we had a hashtag, I think kili origine tu kukenya, hashtag jazastadi, so we would hashtag jazastadi and we'd go cheer the boys there, so it's been a continuous thing but my support would be when I wasn't even 18 years old And you've never thought of, at your tender age you've never thought of probably featuring for Kenya lionesses or something No Just love for the sport Wow, that's nice game right? I think it is really nice because the first thing for you to be a fan is you have to identify your sport at a very young age because I don't think you can really delving and love a sport when you're 30 You really have to start when you're really young so that you get to understand the rules and all the dynamics, so you know 16, 17, find something to do a sport and just love it for your whole life So having been in the United States, did you get an opportunity to meet our guy, is it Mike Friday or Paltru? Mike Friday, I met him, almost all the legs I attended, 17, 18, 19, I met him and I met the boys, the egos, I met them there in the hotel How does it feel having lost him to United States considering the love he enjoyed from Kenyans? Does he miss Kenya? He does and actually he even communicates with Kenyans on social media Yeah I normally see his tweets So he still loves Kenya and that's why we still call him Otoya up to date, his name has never changed Now let's speak about what happened in the midweek regarding our relegation from HSBC World Seven series Kenyan National Plan B7 team Shujia did their best, they gave their all but you know, was it luck or we didn't prepare or it was time, it was ripe for our relegation Well, personally, myself, I'll admit and few friends of mine, we were like, let's just get relegated kus tuna pushiki tu inakata We were, it has been in the pipeline all along for us to get relegated If you remember during Murunga Zera 2018-19, we almost got relegated And then we pushed hard, we fought for it, I remember even one of the players in Vegas, Ali Cheza, Akiwana Injari Like you see these guys really struggling and here we are, now we are relegated So the next thing is now we have to play next year for, see we are going to get back to the HSBC and this is it Can we use this opportunity to put a house in order so that we make a stylish comeback in the series? Two ways, yes you can, but I think it will be very very hard to find other competitors who are fighting to go back into HSBC with you I think that will be harder than going for something in the HSBC Sevens But also I think you can put a house in order when you are still in the top league That would have been best for Kenya because you have to think of what the Sevens has meant to Kenyans personally over the past 10-15 years Year in year out you see Kenya in Vegas, Kenya all over the world, you see a flag there But now you move to a league which is not that documented as compared to the HSBC So a lot of things will come from that and I think when it comes to putting a house in order in terms of finances also That will be a key area because I think the remuneration will be different from what they usually get So it is a chance to do it but they will have to fight fight fight a lot for it to happen You know the guys who feature for Kenya National rugby Sevens team are the fantastic professionals People who give their all excellent patriots I occasionally meet Bilio Diambo but I haven't met him At least one of the experienced players, a guy was dedicated his commitment playing for Kenya Ensuring that glory gets to be brought back home But I'm pretty sure you are in constant touch with some of these players What does they feel like, their mood considering the relegation We played at the big stage in HSBC World Seven series at top level But now suddenly you come into the lower tiers Well I feel bad for the boys, the fact that we have the young blood The likes of Abu Kuse, Wang Wekesha, Tanga, Anya, King George that is Oro Those are like some young people who are trying to get there and be like the next Bilio But now what have we done to them, we are there we can't help them I can't blame the players because they don't select themselves But the whole siyasa politics at KRU that is pushing even the coaches to recycle players Is what the issue like, that should be the huge issue the KRU should be focusing on Yes we failed, we failed support the boys, we failed support the coach And now here we are what next Because if we are at KRU right now, we have a game next year in April To try and see if we are going back to HSBC, I would start training right now Get 26 players, train them, pole pole, we get the best facilities That way come next year we get in Also we have an invitation coming up in New York, I think next month if I'm not wrong That's a chance for the boys to shine Because they are winning money, go in get the money And then just have an agreement with KRU, if we play we win This money I think you just get 5% the rest is ours So sufficient preparations are key And you have mentioned about recycling of players I've seen the squad has been you know, jail of experience and new blood Did it work for the betterment and success of the team Kind of kind of not Because any coach should have a team A If you don't have a team A then what are you doing Like you say this is my team in Ngaingia We are playing Canada and we have to fight these guys Team A and Ngaingia Substitute pole pole, what did we do, we didn't do that We put in waze, which is a Bonda rugby We can be playing Bonda rugby when we are getting relegated You play such rugby when you have 100 plus points You see, you can risk it You have like few hours to come before you get relegated Now Ken, are you in agreement? Because we've heard, you know, high profile players Before they have retired, Colin Sinjera One of the old time tri-scorers You know, Mando Amonde the captain And the guy who was played in professional friend football He did a wedding recently, I'm forgetting his name Nani, William Baka William Baka, the man himself Very fantastic professional, he was also Phenomenally featured in Fokeja National rugby 7 team And you know we have heard several players Who have exited the scene But now, can we blame it on transition We delayed putting in place mechanisms That could have helped in proper transition I think what you said the delay in mechanisms I think that's one thing that should really be looked at Because these mechanisms are just not identifying the players And getting them shoot in You know, as she has said You know when the tournament is said to be Train these players, have a look at them for ample time Rather than you know lack and the season starts And that's when you're learning your players Because I feel like that is also something That may have been happening The coach came into the job Like almost halfway Some players do the whole COVID thing And then now you have to learn the players As each leg comes and you know It doesn't give you the full view of What exactly you're handling Even if you try to mix the youth and experience There will still be a gap I think that's one thing that has really really had The Kenyan rugby And also you look at The simple mistakes I feel like they've been making There are some really easy mistakes that Consistent training and you know A coach who can really push it on them Things could have not gone south for Kenya So for mechanisms I think They have to look way ahead of what's going to come And you know start really really early Because these players are good players But getting them into a team and mixing them up That's where the problem starts For KRU and also for Kenyan rugby in general, yeah You've mentioned about politics at Kenya rugby Right now as you speak You have new officials at the helm of the Kenyan after elections, Sasha Mutai Kwanjiti Saveha and our good friend Passion for rugby now is at the helm As the president having replaced Ganglodoru decided not to defend this It and we have Board of directors Including Amfri Kayanga, man who has also featured Prominently for Kenyan rugby And now in charge of Squad development I don't know What We blame when you say Politics at Kenya rugby We blame everyone Everyone thinks because If you are the chairman You have to sit down with your directors And say this is what I have for the next 2 years Or the next 3 months or the next 6 months Like 15s Who are we to blame? Gangi wasn't there When 15s the Karikap was being planned We can't blame him for that We've put it out of Karikap, right? We don't have funds So we failed to Win Bats Cup Kenyan 15s Also known as Simba We drew out of Karikap Shuja We went to HBC We go for invitation We never get invitation Right now we are playing somewhere in Madagaska That's why I think Sasha is We had a game for Kenya in SAJUZI And we lost On Wednesday On Wednesday It was a proper thrashing So literally rugby is just Dying dying We have a game coming up in July What are we doing? Are they even training? They should be in a camp right now So it's quite devastating As far as matters rugby is concerned What do we do? To get back to You know where we were to restore the lost glory We need to sit down with Mange Mude And the likes of Kina Khadi What did you do then That we are not doing now For us to get where you guys were That we are not now But I think most of the people you have At some point they have worked with Mange Mude Sasha at some point worked with Mange Mude Yes correct So they understand what is supposed to be done And can we say it is too early To blame the current leadership Because they have just got into the office the other day Because the minute you get the hand of a file You know this is what I am expected to do In the next 1, 2, 3 weeks And this is what I should be trying to get Because it sucks like It hurts right now As you think of 15s they didn't play today We were supposed to host the games here in Kenya Apparently we didn't have money to host We don't have money to take the players out there Then what do we have? And Ken, you know as a player You get to feel demotivated When such a thing happens right? Ya ya And something she said She was talking about Chipu They have a game in July Ya we have a game in Nyayo Ya and they are not training And I think a couple of weeks When the bats were starting We had the same complaint From the coach right? Ya them not being in camp And you know When you say a new leadership has stepped in I think something like that they saw But they are still not acting on it In a different situation So you know they need to recheck What priorities are there For the players themselves Especially the young ones right now They are asking the same questions Maybe we are asking What are we doing till then And that greatly demotivates you Because it shows you to some extent That you are not in someone's plans Because they are not funding you They are not calling you into camps They are not preparing you mentally So you know that really kills Of the motivation because I feel like For a good foundation We need to take care especially of Chipu Because they will carry the flag For more years than you know The more established players So for player motivation They themselves Chipu See that the major teams Having pay bills and all They just ask themselves Is it worth it Because as things stand It's a really really risky place To be where there is no funds There are no games you are playing It's really risky for the player's motivation And when Kairu says that Finale problem Is the main challenge Which we probably zonet Well with them and read from the same script With them and Just earlier on We were talking about Corporate Confidence in Kenyan sporting Activities and stakeholders And how you know In other disciplines like golf and rally They have been attracting and Wavering sponsorships from Local corporates KCB What do we do To also translate the same Into rugby Considering how rugby does as proud Just wearing that jazzy On the international platform And raising the Kenyan flag And winning Singapore 7s in 2016 Under the Trailage of our good lead friend Benjamin Aimba It's such a huge thing Playing Vancouver 7s Playing Los Angeles 7s You know that's advertising Kenyan Putting it when they wrote Ma Paswaras international Sinis concern I think the main issue is People see when Fans are complaining I won't lie to you Some fans have big people Or even ex sponsors following them So they may need to start complaining About mismanagement of fans in Kairu I think there is any sponsor who want to touch them No one, they are all back off Because if I give you a million today Then the next day I am seeing players complaining We haven't had our allowance We haven't had our pay These players need to eat They need to pay their bills They have maybe families to take care of And they cannot afford But every day they are representing us as Kenyans Not even Kairu Kenyans, the whole country So people tend to I would too I would too I would too And nowadays when someone investing They need to get value for their money For their money So value for this money is Negative And in this case it should be Proper packaging, proper branding How How they will reap from That investment And whatever they will get in return Max ask yourself When Mwangi Mude In the leadership back in the day We had Safarikom We had Kenya Ayame Qatar was going to come in If you remember so well What happened? Mismanagement of fans After Mwangi Mude left We started with pay bills M Changa Go find me Players can't pay bills Even sponsors are feeling bad They are like Why are we paying the money At the end of the day these players Have to go beg fans for money And I happened to Serve with Mwangi Mude In FKF category committee And we used to meet Regularly along the corridors At Nya National Stadium and I could ask him Chaman, Mr. Chaman Now that you know our rugby Is doing the way it's doing We were planning probably to make a comeback But he was very categorical That he's ready for consultancy He can advise where appropriately Whenever he gets reached upon He wouldn't be reluctant to give His pro-born advice on how To run the game And probably maybe the current leaders Can reach out to him And he would not be reluctant to share His insights on how the game Can be managed There is that time and there is this time And things are getting Dynamical maybe That was that time And this is the time where New leaders need to Co-opt how sport is evolving Ken? And I totally agree with that Because times also change In terms of leadership and trends Especially when you look at Where we are living right now Taf economic situations More sharp than those who are here before You can console those who are here before But you understand the situation now is different If you are coming into this role You expect hardship And I think that is something This kia ril under Sasha may have expected But in early stages In the early days they have failed To deal with it Because I think when you are running for something When you want to become something You have plans and you can see the foreseeable future We went past the national elections You knew that there was a deep hole coming In terms of the economic times But still We see the same things happening That have been happening For a couple of years now I think we need the leadership To really recheck What they are mandate Because as it stands now I don't see anything different Coming up soon There is no indication that there will be An immediate sponsor I just feel like it will continue Because that is the situation across Multiple sports in this country You mean Kenyans are getting pessimistic about The state of our sports in the country Yes, it's that bad It's that bad What is that attributed to? Why? Why the change of tune? Because you can feel like When everything is going down the slope And that is where we are right now Nothing seems to work All the Let's call them Chipu, Lioness, 15, Kenya 7 Where are they? Nothing is working out at all How about our league? The state of our league It's bad Because it should be an integral form Of the breakthrough we supposed to witness At the national level When our league is quality Then we need to Witness quality At the national level In terms of Shujia and Simbas Maybe it's as Nick had said It might take years It might take years Because tell me Those people who face relegation The young players We really think right now they have the Psych to go back again They don't have the motivation So without motivation that's where we'll have the hiccups Watch and see so many players they retire right now And considering There is this stereotype that most of The rugby players are serious professionals Having studied at the university As a lawyer As a quantity surveyor As an engineer What you are trying to insinuate is that Most of these players will quit Rugby as a sport And now concentrate on their Careers Which they did at the college and university level Because if rugby is not paying Or helping them pay their bills Why would they be there Yet they know their employment They'll get the money and Pay their bills without struggle Without having to balance to wake up at E You're waking up at 5 For you to get up to training Go train, go to work Or even some good training in the afternoon You don't even have family time The game that is denying you Ampo family time School games It is supposed to be the bedrock of Our rugby As massive investment been put In our school games because Understand, like Kenyua at Apa Hill You said how you were informed With Johnstone O'Lindi Who is now a serious player to the Kenya Rugby Sevens team level And Has there been much priority And concentration Being School games, which chan a lot of talents To the national sides I think there was hype around Butula when they did It was a really big hype But we haven't seen How these kids are going To be pushed into the setup But I think the advantage In this time that we have Is I think a lot of university sides Are really up for it They are really up for rugby A lot of them in the championship Some in the Kenya Cup And I think if they can do the job For KRU and get these kids Into scholarships, into their teams I think that will be a huge advantage For them also To have rugby and a career I think college or university education Is important so that if one doesn't go The other carries you So I think the recent growth Of university sides wanting to compete More wanting to be in the Kenya Cup Investments from their schools Sporting department I think that's one thing we can really look at But it will always be down to KRU how they setup The training camps Even clinics for these kids When they are half time or something It's always down to them To have these concrete things To transition these kids Into professionals Like get them from Butula And switch them to people From Koyonzo But you know when you throw a stone From shards In my anguka kwa mabati Ya Koyonzo secondary And you know they conquered at rugby During school games last year at 15th And they even represented the country In East Africa and Tani And no much structures Have been put in place to ensure That there is continuity So that players we get to witness At the school level are feeder programs And it's been an insightful conversation indeed Jerry, thank you for coming Probably your last sentiments Before we conclude I would say We should not blame the players And personally as a fan I'm proud of you Of what you did out there But it's time to regroup We do a whole clean up in KRU Whoever is not working We step out And we bring in new people We have a good coach Who is a coach assistant Damian Maklath No, the assistant coach Kenya 7 Wambua Kevin Wambua Kevin Wambua Should take over the Kenya 7 He should start training them right now And just proceed as a coach You know Allow me to ask some last question You know these people Who are widely travelled like yourself You said you've been in the United States But there is this concern And they never do benchmarking So that when they come back home Something they learnt They can suggest it To be incorporated into our system When you are in the U.S. What did you learn that Probably if it gets To be proposed back home Naikue It is the idea of growth of our game Have you attempted to reach out To clear you and probably give suggestions If I did they would block me I just make I just make noise on my Twitter Whether it reads or my Facebook Whether it reads and if they Won't have it they can go sit down And discuss as coaches and take over there But it sucks to see that Rag b If an instance Aimbua Woke up today I want to die again This is not where he left Rag b And this is not what he dreamt of Rag b Ever coming to an end Because this is not the best way To ever see the game die And we hope we will bounce back next year We just hope so We hope we will bounce back next year That is a proper Finishing line As we Do conclusion of this particular segment As far as discussion and insightful Conversation it's been on the state of Rag b In the country in the wake of you know the location Of Kenya Rag b7 team Shujia from HSBC World 7 series Remember we were playing against Canada on Sunday But bad day in the office we got defeated And therefore we will have to come back To the lower tiers as you know we Try to put a house in order And probably make a stylish comeback Next year it's been a pleasure Doing this Jerry My thank you for coming through Kenya Of course it's still with us don't go away stay tuned We continue start line Y255 is the hashtag that was taken by Maxwell Ken Was your twitter handle And your twitter handle the one you make Noison At two Jerry but Is an underscore between JNA So we continue you know talking about state of Rag b Even after the conclusion of the Segment on this Particular platform don't go and stay tuned We coming up with international football review Ahead of champions league finale City Up against international Don't go away


In the coming weeks, authorities will introduce a GPS tracking system for all registered fishing vessels as part of efforts to strengthen border management amid the pandemic. Prime Minister Hon. Alan Chastney made the disclosure after a meeting with Fisherfolk representatives on Wednesday 4th November 2020. Mounting concerns over illicit border entry from neighboring COVID-19 hotspots have prompted the government of St. Lucia to introduce heightened control measures at sea. Following a meeting with Fisherfolk to review the one week suspension of fishing licenses earlier this week, authorities announced plans to introduce a tracking system to monitor all registered fishing vessels when offshore. The longer term or intermediate solution, and that is really within the next three weeks, the government will be investing in a GPS system so all fishing boats and all private boats in St. Lucia will be compelled to have a GPS system installed, which will be done through the satellite so it means that we would know at all times where boats have been. Prime Minister Chastney says this intervention will be a triple solution, also assisting law enforcement in stolen vessels and lost at sea investigations. Prime Minister Chastney apologizes to fishermen who were inconvenienced by COVID-19 response measures, stressing that decisive action was imperative given the risk. I could honestly say that I do not believe the vast majority of the Fisherfolk are in any way participating in it. But it's very difficult for the police or the law enforcement officers to make that distinction. I have apologized to the Fisherfolk because there probably should have been an immediate consultation with them as it pertain to that, but the intention was to do that this week. Meantime, former president of the Grosile Fisherman's Cooperative, Ricky McDoon, encourages fishermen to cooperate with the authorities. We want to appeal to the Bonififishers and we have made a commitment that we are going to work together with the authorities, the Fishermen's Department, the police, to help them with information that is going to curb any form of illicit activities, whether it is human trafficking and we know one of the biggest problems before COVID was a drug issue. The Marine unit of the Royal St. Lucia Police Force appeals to residents in St. Lucia who may have information on individuals who facilitate smuggling into the island to come forward. For the Government Information Service, I am Jesse Leance reporting.


Buy my coins is the best place to get madden coins for anything. It's cheap and reliable.  Okay, look, I don't know for certain if this is the worst team team But I feel very confident that it is the worst team team. Ah, yeah You know what if the if the lions or the dolphins is less than 92 overall I'll take it all back But I think this is the worst team team and it's still pretty good, but it's still honestly really bad I'm gonna get you out of here. Can we be honest with each other here? I do like some things. I love Joe Burrell I love the Joe Burrell gameplay. Cory Dilla Joe Mixon. That's really bad. That's honestly so bad Tyler Boyd, John Ross, AJ Green, we can work with that. Dio was a bangle, Marvin Jones was a bangle Offensive line, he got Munoz. I guess you can take what you can get. Got Bobby Hart, Trey Hopkins, Kevin Zitler, and Andrew Whitworth Then Tyler Eifert and CJ Uzoma.  One sec. No Bork. No Bork No Bork, Luna. Why are you Borkin? Why are you Borkin at me, boy? Luna, what are you doing? Hi, what are you doing? She wants to fight right now. She's in a she's in a fighting mood Okay, so I'm putting Taylor Maze at free safety, Vaughn Ballot strong safety, linebackers Hey, where is Wem, Wem, Wem? She's feisty. Sam Hubbard, Gino Atkins, DJ Reader, Carlos Dunlap, Jonathan Joseph Jonathan Joseph should not be in. I thought it would be like I know that we have good teams that I haven't used yet I just thought it'd be really funny to get the Bengals one out of the way early But I'm gonna do Cowboys next I think and that team is nasty. So don't worry. I'm just excited to see if we can get it up with this team 92 overall honestly not looking too hot But my wheel of mud team has been worse than 92 overall. I know that I can get a win. Alright regular season It's a brand new clean slate. I don't know how much divisions actually matter But we're in star which is not bad. It's kind of middle of the pack. Alright. Well, wish me luck Can't wait to get matched up with a 99 straight overall team Imagine going and seeing a Bengals team team bro. Who uses that? I'm so I'm excited. I think Goose. Goose wants attention so bad What to do Goose? I got you. How do? Hi, Goose. She gives kisses on command. Love making out with my dog. It's my favorite white person pastime It shows making out with my dog aggressive. Oh, I didn't see my I didn't even see his top three I'm sure it was pretty good skull buster.  Well, you know what? At least he doesn't have a Madden gamer tag I did the I did the charity stream with throne and we go to play duo squads and we got matched up against this Dude who's like gamer tag was I form close like bro if your gamer tag is related to Madden I am not playing you.  Oh, he's got Justin Herbert I love to see that. He's got an X Factor tight end. It looks like This is tight end attack. Oh Yeah, that's not funny. Yeah, that's a that's a 86 overall free safety guarding 99 Randy Boss All right, bag those we got some work to do here boys. I'm not mad. I'm okay with this Well, you know what? I got John Ross on the kicker turn. I got a chance to go get some points.  Okay first in 10 I'm sending Corey Dylan to the edge and that's not very Sanders I'll tell you that this place called RPO alert screen and I really want to try it out This goes to AJ green and we got John Ross blocking No, Joe burrow. I actually think that was open to damn that was actually open I have a scape artist and there's no QB spy We're gonna know wait stumble. He stumbled forward so far. Oh my god. I need a yard. He's a D line user and I need a yard Let's go. Let's go This is 100% Understandable. I am playing as the Bengals. I deserve this. I deserve every part of this. Come on, baby.  I was so there for that.   No get on rainy boss.  Let's go Taylor maze of the big hitter fumble We got the ball back to 70 and he's he's a D-Line user. This game is so winnable Tyler Eifert for some free 12 yards didn't look like he was D-Line user in there. Maybe he thinks I'm bad So he's using D-Line as a joke. I don't know von Miller. Yeah, he's pass rushing and I accidentally dove But yeah, I'm really struggling. I'm just I'm literally struggling to hit the correct buttons Jukebox bruiser pin and pull good. Well, I'm gonna try out bruiser right here. We're just gonna try and truck straight through Let's see if it's there. Okay, you know what I didn't get it But that's certain like five ish. Yeah, I'm a black Cory Dillon and we're gonna scramble pretty much predetermining this But oh no, Tyler Eifert is very open. I will take your free yards. We're really weirdly driving on this field right now I will say that I'm gonna look for AJ green. Hopefully this bump and run. Ooh. Ooh, you gonna play play bump and run with my boy John Ross right there. I wouldn't mind that Okay, so can we get it? Yes? Cory Dillon on the playmaker juke one. No, he doesn't ah See, ah, sorry.  That's such an easy touchdown But uh, I'm used to human joystick where when you turn it doesn't like stop your momentum so hard And I messed that up that was a free touchdown, but hopefully we can secure the touchdown anyway sir Okay, Cory Dillon and that's it for us. That was even better. That was sicker than what we're gonna do before All right, 77 bangles. We got a little bit of hope. We started out real rough What is that? All right? I am just gonna play on Taylor Maze and I'm gonna shade Randy Moss Everything Taylor Maze is nuts. He's this whole team right now. He's this whole defense right now Should I say third and 10 he's got every single X factor on wide receivers and he's gonna look for a corner He goes underneath and wow Jesse Bates Jesse Bates is slow, but he just made a huge tackle right there That's fourth and one.  He's gonna pass it.  I'm gonna send some heaters and I'm gonna go on I don't even know who Williams is we're on him.   Why why is that not my ball? I played that perfectly. I mean I need these interceptions. Are you kidding me? I want to play over top again. I cannot let him get like in my territory. Okay, so post route Yes, sir, he throws the other post route to Tori hole. This is not gonna be a successful offense If this is all that he can run it won't be successful I should not be a genowai kid. Damn it.   If the ball lands in your hands. It's a catch It's just the law. Oh, I'm on the wrong. I'm on genowai kids again. I'm gonna kill myself Okay, sorry, it's it's tough with this defense to actually get on who I'm trying to get on while making my adjustments Oh, okay. Okay. I know what he's doing here.  Yes underneath route. Is he gonna juke? Doesn't matter He won't be able to get it. That's fourth and five goes no huddle. I love it. I love it That's bold. You gotta love to see that There let's go. That's a clamp. Wow.  Plants defense.  You're not So shook right now Are you serious like are you serious Joe Burrow Taylor maze Cory Dylan?

The code also provides for the enforcement of the rules, and over four weeks the SPPA gave detailed and thorough consideration to the report submitted to us by the Ethical Standards Commissioner on the complaint made against Maggie Chapman MSP that she had failed to declare a registrable financial interest. We carefully considered the provisions of the Members' Interest Act and the Code of Conduct in relation to declarations of interests. We concluded unanimously that Maggie Chapman MSP failed to declare a registered financial interest, namely the remuneration she had received by virtue of her employment as the chief operating officer of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre during the proceedings relating to that registered financial interest, at the Equalities and Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee on 31 May 2022. We agreed with the commissioner's conclusion that Maggie Chapman MSP had breached the interest of members of the Scottish Parliament Act 2006 and the Code of Conduct for MSPs. The central purpose of the requirements to register and declare interests is to provide transparency. This transparency makes certain registrable interests public through publishing them on individual members' register of interests. This standards regime aims to ensure that somebody watching or reading parliamentary proceedings is made aware of a financial interest that could influence or give the appearance of influencing a member's ability to participate in a disinterested manner in any proceedings of this Parliament. The transparency was missing at the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee on 31 May 2022. When Maggie Chapman MSP asked a question of the chief executive of Rape Crisis Scotland that referenced the network of rape crisis centres in Scotland, she did not, by means of a declaration, make it known that she had a registered financial interest by virtue of the remuneration that she had received as chief operating officer of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre. Thus, that transparency, which is central to the understanding of any interests that could influence us as MSPs, was not there. I will. Ross Greer. I am very grateful to the committee for the intervention. I do not dispute that an inadvertent breach took place, but what Parliament is being asked to vote on today is a sanction in this case. I would appreciate if the committee convener could explain why the committee has departed so significantly from precedent in the case of the sanction here. In the case of multiple members who are in the chamber today, previous breaches have been found in relation to failing to declare a former employer. No sanction was issued. Previous breaches were found in relation to direct financial interests, gifts that had not been declared to the tune of thousands of pounds, and no sanction was issued. Ross Greer, explain why in this case a sanction has been issued, because that is a serious departure from precedent. Martin Whitfield. I am very grateful for the intervention. I will indeed deal with that matter, as it is in fact specifically dealt with in the unanimous report of the committee, which has been published and is able to be read both by members within this chamber, but also by people who are watching from the outside and holding us to account. We live in an age now where there is a great deal of skepticism and mistrust in politicians. In order to challenge those perceptions, it is incumbent on us to act with integrity and to respect the rules in the code of conduct. It is also incumbent on us, I believe, in certain circumstances to exclude a member from the proceedings of the Parliament where a member has failed to comply with the requirement to declare an interest. We fail ourselves, and we undermine those founding principles if we do not uphold the requirements in our standards regime. For these reasons, I intend to write to all MSPs again next week reminding them of the declaration requirements and encouraging them to seek advice from the clerks where they have any doubts about the correct approach to the declarations. With regard to the sanction that has been unanimously suggested by the committee, there are differences in this case. The committee is not required to follow a rule of precedent, but deals with each case individually, fairly and following the rules of natural justice as it appears before us. The committee's unanimous decision is to recommend the exclusion of Maggie Chapman MSP from one meeting of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee, and it is, I believe, a proportionate one. The committee has taken its role seriously, seeking to embed the principles of natural justice and fairness in its deliberations, and for the reputation of the Parliament and the members of it, I urge those in the chamber to support this motion, which I move in my name. I am grateful, Presiding Officer. Thank you. I now call on Alexander Stewart. Presiding Officer, as a member of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee, I take the scrutiny and governance of Parliament and its members very seriously. The committee was unanimous regarding the consultation and consideration and the decisions that we reached. The committee was of the view that Maggie Chapman registered financial interest, i.e. the remuneration that she received by virtue of her employment as the chief officer for Edinburgh Council was relevant to the proceedings of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee, on 31 May 2022. The view of all the members on the committee was that, in keeping with the principles and underpin the code of conduct, a member should not just take into account their view of the assess of whether a declaration received relates to the committee proceedings. It should also consider a fair-minded and impartial observer who would consider that the declared interest could influence the member or give the appearance that the member's ability to act impartially was prejudiced. The committee considered that a person who watched or read the proceedings might reasonably consider that there to be a connection between Edinburgh rate centre and rate crisis Scotland. The members take very seriously any breach of the requirements in relation to failure to declare a registerable financial interest before taking part in any proceedings of Parliament relating to that matter. The unanimous verdict of the committee was that the code was breached. That cemented the view and findings of the commissioner. Members can seek advice from standards clerks as to how, in any question at any matter relating to registration and declarations of interest. The integrity and the reputation of this Parliament and its members should always be paramount to the proceedings. Those of us who are privileged to serve as members of this Parliament should at all times act to uphold the reputation and the proceedings in accordance with the code of conduct. When Parliament delegates the decision to the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee and it comes back with a unanimous decision, that decision should be respected, Presiding Officer. We as members of the Scottish Parliament have a privilege and the privilege of serving the people of Scotland, and we must do that in their best interests and as transparently as possible. It is right that they know of any interests that we may have that could influence our decision making. Although we must not allow those interests to influence our work, we need to go further. We need to be clear and transparent about interests, where a member of the public could reasonably believe that those interests would influence our decision making. It is very easy for us to make a judgment about what does and does not influence our activities, but that might not be apparent to a non-looker. I do not think that anyone in this chamber would believe that they are influenced by the things that we declare in our register of interests. It is quite the opposite. We would avoid things that would in any way compromise our ability to act freely. We must understand that our constituents do not know us personally. We must also recognise that they might reasonably believe that we could be influenced by certain interests. That is why we have a register of interests and that is why we as MSPs must take every step to ensure that we abide by the rules regarding the register of interests and the declaration of those interests. I thank the committee and the commissioner for their work in the case. I note that this is a unanimous report from the committee and the penalty that they propose is not overly detrimental. However, what it does do is provide a very useful reminder to us all to be meticulous in registering and declaring our interests. For that reason, I will support the committee's recommendation and urge colleagues to do the same. Christine Grahame, I am seeking your guidance. I am making a general point. In my time here, we have had several instances of standards recommendations and discipline of various MSPs. I am concerned that the issue raised by Ross Greer has merit in that we do not appear to keep a note of precedent. In any court proceedings, you have a note of precedent of the kind of penalties imposed in similar circumstances. All I am asking is who or why and if we should keep a note of precedent of decisions made in the circumstances and the various disciplinary consequences that occur for MSPs. I think that that is fair. It is not influencing my decision in this particular case, but I think that we have to take a view on it in fairness to any MSP who may subsequently be subject to discipline. I thank Ms Grahame for her point of order. The convener did address some of the points raised in Ms Grahame's point of order. I am pointed out that there is no precedent. The Parliament is about to decide on this matter in due course, as I now call on Mark Ruskell. I thank the SPPA and the Commission for Ethical Standards in their consideration of this case. As a former member of the SPPA committee, I recognise its important work in upholding the values and standards of this institution. The Green Group in Parliament respects the decision made by the SPPA and the Commissioner in deciding that my colleague Maggie Chapman breach the Code of Conduct. We do not wish to reopen that decision. However, we struggle to agree with the decision to impose a sanction, because this goes against the recent precedent set by this Parliament in dealing with emissions to declare a financial interest. Since the start of session 5 in 2016, the SPPA have upheld five complaints against Members relating to a failure to declare a registered financial interest, and only one of those resulted in a sanction. In that case, the Member in question had asked parliamentary questions on an issue in which they held a live financial interest and could have potentially benefited financially from the outcome. It was also the second time a complaint was upheld against them on the same issue, the first time resulting in no sanction. In another more recent case, a Member failed to make verbal declarations of substantial gifts from a lobbying organisation, yet the committee concluded that, and I quote, the finding of a breach is sanction enough. This case against Maggie Chapman, however, relates to a previous employment, which had long since concluded at the time that the item of business took place in this Parliament. So there was no way that Ms Chapman could have benefited financially from the subject that was under discussion on that day. I am concerned because this decision sets a precedent for declaring past employment, suggesting that every Member in this Chamber remains financially tied to all our previous employers for an indefinite period. Imposing a sanction today also undermines the previous position that Members are able to make their own judgment on these matters. In a case again in 2016, the SPPA committee admonished a Member, but imposed no further sanction because, and I quote, it is a matter of judgment for the Member on whether a registered interest is sufficiently relevant to particular proceedings to require a declaration. In this case, the committee has decided that it was not sufficient for Maggie Chapman to use her own judgment, despite her clearly making no attempt to conceal her previous employment, which was declared in her written register of interests. I would like to make progress in laying out our concerns, but I give way to convene. I am very grateful. It is really just whether or not the member agrees as a point of clarification that the judgment of the individual Member must always err on being transparent to those who are watching rather than actually the judgment is of the individual, which is the wording in the guidance. Well indeed, but I think I have laid out the circumstances in which this case emerged, and I do not believe that an incorrect judgment was made in that regard. I think that many Members, looking at this case and looking at previous cases that have come to this Chamber, will now have doubts in their mind about when it is and when it is not appropriate to declare a particular interest. It is the view then of my colleagues in the green group that our colleague appears to be being held to a different set of standards than previous Members who were found wanting in relation to much more substantial breaches where direct financial interests were actually at stake. She is also not being given the benefit of the doubt to which other Members have been afforded. This quote is from a decision in 2019, where a Member similarly failed to declare previous employment, where the committee concluded that the complaint was not related to a matter from which the Member could have gained any financial benefit, and there was no attempt to conceal the information that was made available on the Parliament's website. Those words are equally applicable to Maggie Chapman's case, and yet she is now being sanctioned by this Parliament, and that is a departure, Presiding Officer. If the motion is approved, it potentially does have implications for all Members. There will be an urgent need for revised and detailed guidance to Members on what should be reasonably declared for inclusion in their declaration of Members' interests, and that is clearly something that both Clarkson and the convener will need to address in the weeks to come. We recognise how vital honesty and transparency are in the dealings of this chamber, but my colleague has been honest and transparent at every stage of this process, just as crucial are fairness and consistency. We believe that that is lacking in this recommendation today. That concludes the debate on standards, procedures and public appointment committees. 10 report 2023, session 6. It is now time to move on to the next item of business, which is consideration of business motion 8986, in the name of George Adam, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, setting out a business programme. I call on George Adam to move the motion. Thank you, Presiding Officer, and moved. Thank you, Minister. No member has asked to speak on the motion, and the question is that motion 8986 be agreed. Are we all agreed? The motion is therefore agreed. The next item of business is consideration of 10 Parliamentary Bureau motions, and I call on George Adam to move the motion. Thank you, Presiding Officer. No member has asked to speak on the motion, and the question is that motion 8987 be agreed. Are we all agreed? Yes. The motion is therefore agreed. The next item of business is consideration of 10 Parliamentary Bureau motions, and I ask George Adam, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, to move motions 9004, on committee of the region's membership, 9005 to 9009, on approval of SSIs, 9010 to 9012, on designation of lead committees and 9013, on committee membership. Thank you, Minister. The question on those motions will be put at decision time. The next item of business is approval of an SSI, and I ask Shirley-Anne Somerville to speak to and move motion 8907 on approval of an SSI, and I call Shirley-Anne Somerville. Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. The question on this motion will be put at decision time, and there are nine questions to be put as a result of today's business. The first is that amendment 8954.3, in the name of Kevin Stewart, which seeks to amend motion 8954, in the name of Alec Rowley, on access to bus services be agreed. Are we all agreed? The Parliament is not agreed, therefore we will move to vote, and there will be a short suspension until our members to access the digital voting system.


My name is Dean Gretzinger. I'm a student at UC San Diego. I'm from Los Angeles, a little suburb of Northridge, and my most memorable moment during Pacific Partnership 2012 was at a med cap site in Vietnam where we're working during the day and these two little boys, their brothers, they wandered into our little dental clinic and they're looking around and it was clear they'd never seen dental tools, this kind of stuff before, what's going on here, and they sat down and I walked over and handed them a toothbrush, some toothpaste and it was like giving them the greatest gift ever and it kind of reminds you that we're doing something great here because we're not only doing work now, we're not just fixing teeth now, fixing people now, but we're giving them the tools to improve their health and their communities in the future.
