Field Notes
We feel the best way to be informed about global poverty is to be present — on the ground and with the community. Here, we share our experiences as a mother-daughter team of philanthropists and community advocates. We have met inspiring community leaders and individuals on our journeys who are a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit in spite of adversity and difficult living conditions. We hope that you too, will be inspired and reflect on your role as a global citizen.
