Mindfulness Without Borders: A New Lens to Learning

Mindfulness Without Borders believes in the transformative power of social and emotional intelligence, and works to incorporate practices of mindfulness into educational curriculum in post conflict regions. Between Four Eyes envisions a future in which today's youth are empowered to make the best choices, and strive for coexistence.

I had the honor and privilege of being one of the founding members of this incredible organization. What began as a journey with a a camera and questions has evolved into a high-impact nonprofit reaching many communities throughout Africa. The first ever Field Report -- a collection of images, testimonials, research, and program ideas -- launched the organization towards their continued success. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to help share the message of Mindfulness Without Borders, and vow to help ensure their story continues being told.
