Have 5 Minutes? Be Inspired by Life Changing Work

Last May, I traveled with friends to Ethiopia to do a project for Healing Hands of Joy, a maternal healthcare/microfinance organization.

Weeks later, two incredible high school students (oh yes, this was made by two amazing 16 year olds!) visited HHOJ in Ethiopia and made this incredible 5 minutes film, raising thousands of dollars for HHOJ in the process.

Nonprofit Spotlight: Baguette & Chocolat – Sapa, Vietnam

With a nod to the French influence on the area, this charming B&B and cafe is a culinary/hospitality school for local disadvantaged teens.  The culinary students have won distinction in international competitions and the program itself is world renowned for its work in the community.  When in Sapa, stop in for pain chocolat and Vietnamese coffee – a highlight of my trip.
