This Seattle-based Organization Proves that Skilled Volunteers Make a Real Impact, at Home and Abroad
Abstract
Seattle is a funny city. I’m a native to the area and have no trouble admitting our own little quirks. I’ve also been incredibly fortunate to travel around the world and be immersed in culture vastly different from our own. The energy on the streets of Buenos Aires and the spiritual connectedness in the Nepalese Himalaya couldn’t be more different than the passive rainwalkers during Seattle’s cold, dark, and rainy winters. But far beyond the “Seattle Freeze,” Seattle is also unique in its focus on global issues. For such a small city with a culture of people becoming more socially withdrawn during our dark winters, we also have a vibrant spirit for looking beyond borders to see how our innovations can be used to better the world.
