As an intern for Proud Mary, I have learned so much. I understand that for a business to be successful it does not take perfect management or a calculated advertising plan rather it takes passion. Proud Mary runs off of heart – the heart of the designer [Harper], the artisans producing, and the consumers buying. After her trip to Mali, Harper explained to me that Proud Mary’s products are a celebration of artisans’ work in our world. I love this.

Caring for Cambodia school |
Caring for Cambodia has grown immensely since Jamie Amelio founded it in 2003. CFC started with a single school built in a village in the outskirts of Siem Reap. There are now 14 schools dedicated to providing free education to children in Siem Reap.

Cambodians have taught me how to live more simply, love more freely and celebrate life.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
