Meet Jennifer James; My Travel Partner To South Africa & Founder of The Global Team of 200

Meet Jennifer James; My Travel Partner To South Africa & Founder of The Global Team of 200

For someone whom I took to be soft-spoken when we first met, Jennifer James sure does know how to  amplify! Through her voice and those of her team members, around 50 million people around the world have heard the words and images she has to share.  That is loud, and her messages of social good are worth listening to.  This past spring I announced that I will have the privilege of traveling in August with Jennifer to South Africa for The Global Team of 200.  I would like to introduce you to my travel partner, founder of  Global Team of 200, Mom Bloggers For Social good, Mom Bloggers Club, and dynamo, Jennifer James

In order to introduce you,  fellow Global Team of 200 member, Jennifer Barbour, generously agreed to let me re-post the  fantastic  profile that she wrote for her Philanthropy Friday series on her blog www.anotherjennifer.com. Click here to read her piece in its entirety .
