Happy Holiday Wishes

Thank you for following my journey! 

Since the release of Packets of Hope: A Journey of Healing and Rediscovery, we’ve heard from many of the countries I visited, including Guatemala, Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Mauritius, and the Philippines. For Tonga, the Philippines, and Samoa, we're working with their governments on the translation of the Overcoming Obstacles materials so their educators can teach life skills to their students.

In Singapore, New Zealand, and several states in Australia, we followed the guidance of their ministers of education and used the information they provided to reach out to every school in their country. We’re hopeful that these efforts will encourage school leaders to embrace life skills education!

When I boarded Queen Anne in January, this was all just a dream. Today, it’s a reality—and it gives me the fuel I need to keep moving forward.

I hope my work brings you comfort and inspiration—not only for your own journey, but also in knowing that leaders around the world are taking meaningful steps toward life skills education in their countries.
