As we travel we meet remarkable, inspiring people and organizations doing impactful work that positively benefits the lives of others. Whether this work is on a small scale or huge, I am moved to highlight their efforts.
Every few months, we SPOTLIGHT a different organization or individual, and hope that they inspire you. If you are compelled to donate to these organizations or volunteer (if applicable), great! Just get in touch with them directly.
