Recently, I had the privilege of being invited by one of my esteemed clients, Laura Strubel, to attend the premiere of Between the Mountain and the Sky, a film that opened my eyes and deeply moved me. This invitation came as part of her ongoing dedication to supporting meaningful causes, and I feel honored to share this experience and express my gratitude for her inspiring contributions.
The film tells the story of Maggie Doyne, a remarkable young woman who founded BlinkNow.org, a foundation that operates a home for children in Nepal. Before that evening, I had no idea of the profound impact that Maggie and her foundation have had on the lives of so many vulnerable children. To say I was unprepared for the emotional journey the film would take me on is an understatement.
Maggie’s journey is one of unwavering love, hope, and resilience. Her decision to dedicate her life to building a brighter future for the children of Nepal is both humbling and empowering. The film beautifully captured her work—each scene a testament to the power of compassion and the rippling effects of selfless service.
Attending this premiere was more than just an evening out; it was a reminder of the boundless potential that lies within all of us to contribute to something greater. I encourage everyone to read up on Maggie Doyne’s story and explore the incredible work of BlinkNow.org. I believe her story will move you as much as it did me, inspiring a deeper sense of connection and the urge to support causes that transform lives.
Finally, I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Laura for this invitation and for her generous support of such meaningful work. Her dedication to philanthropic efforts like these sets an example of the kind of positive change we can all foster. This evening was not only a celebration of Maggie’s impact but also a reflection of the beauty of giving back and investing in a better world for others.
