She looked and sounded incredible and what a place to do it after all she's been through

A pick on a previous Scavenger Hunt round I recall! Now we just need Addis Ababa to host and Agnes Keleti to make an appearance!

Honestly, the most interesting tidbit posted in this thread in over a year. The efforts they put into eradicating diseases is truly inspiring.
