You know we bring the fun. The best places to stay. Where to eat and drink. And how to get there, in the fashionable style that you’re used to. Our extensive team travels give us a unique inside perspective, to be your resource, for anything and everything in travel and the good things in life. But while the core of our business is making sure you know the best places to go around the world, the heart of Galavante is the difference we strive to make in the lives of individuals.
One year ago, we paused to talk about Afghanistan. Today, we’d like to take a moment to share with you the stories of six extraordinary women who our foundation, Galavante in the World, is privileged to support. Their paths took them from Kabul to Ukraine, to Italy, to the Netherlands, to Abu Dhabi, to Pakistan, to France, and more. No matter where the journey, the desire for the destination is to come to the United States to pursue the American Dream. Some have made it to these shores, and some have not.
It doesn’t seem real that there’s a world where women are forcibly married as teenagers, banned from going to school, and forbidden to work or even leave the house without a man. But this is Afghanistan today. Our foundation has dedicated this past year to fight for exceptionally talented women. They are data scientists, diplomats, lawyers, and journalists. We’ve also helped families so their daughters would not be sold to save siblings from starvation. It’s one year on, and we have not forgotten. So this is to Afghanistan, with love.
