...it is a change that goes on deep and permanent, in the ideas of living."  -Miriam Beard

"Traveling with Half Sky opened my eyes...

...to the sincere hearts of women in Rwanda who have much to teach regarding fierce community and about never giving up hope."

...Our hearts, minds, and souls were opened through our new connections and we all have an adventure story to cherish for our lifetimes."
