In this episode, Heather Haynes, an artist whose passion for painting ignited at an early age. Heather's artistic journey evolved significantly after earning her degree from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, propelling her to create, sell, and establish a significant presence in the vibrant art world.
However, it was a fortuitous encounter during a trip to Rwanda that truly reshaped Heather's life trajectory. This transformative experience sparked a profound commitment within Heather to effect positive change in the lives of orphans residing in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, an area embroiled in conflict. Leveraging her artistic prowess, marketing acumen, and organizational skills, Heather founded The Art of Courage—a nonprofit corporation dedicated to amplifying awareness and generating crucial funds for local initiatives aimed at nurturing these children's journey towards a promising future.
