Dear Friends,
What will YOUR JOURNEY look like this year?
Philanthropy Indaba can help you make this year the year of LIVING PHILANTHROPY. We want to awaken the
possibilities of creating meaningful and lasting change with amazing partners on the ground.
These photos are of three women that I carry in my heart. I met the first in Tilonia, India, where they were teaching illiterate
women to be a solar engineers - we didn't speak the same language but it didn't matter. The second woman was in Gushie,
Ghana, where village women will receive protective gear and be able to harvest shea for income. And the last - a little girl - I
met in a steamy, smoky garbage dump in Phnom Penh, Cambodia where she and a little friend spent their day collecting
scrap metal for money to help her family, who were also at the dump. My wish for you is that you also have these rich
experiences to carry with you, along with a renewed spirit and dedication to making a difference.
With our Signature, Luminary and Next Gen trips, we now have the opportunity to give individuals at different stages in their
giving, the chance to get into the field and explore different issue areas, connect with social entrepreneurs and key thought
leaders, and consider their unique contribution in bringing about meaningful and lasting change.
We're so excited to have new team members coming on board, bringing deep experience and wide network in luxury travel
industry and experiential learning helping us to create an unparalleled travel experience.
As your collaborator and resource, our team is always open to having a conversation about how we might work together to
make this year the year where you discovered how JOYFUL, ENGAGING and IMPACTFUL philanthropy can be!
I look forward to hearing from you!

What will YOUR JOURNEY look like this year?
- Have you started seeking out people that will INSPIRE you?
- Do you have activities planned that will DEEPLY INFORM your giving, social investments and even your life’s work?
- Have you identified tools that will help you discover the kind of ENGAGEMENT and CREATIVITY you would like to see
in your philanthropy? - Or more simply, have you and your family been seeking a more purposeful or meaningful travel experience?
