Strengthening Communities and Inspiring Connections

Dear Friends, Partners, and Supporters

As 2024 comes to a close, I want to reflect on a remarkable year filled with milestones and meaningful connections. Whether you’ve joined a tour, participated in a student program, partnered with us, donated, or collaborated in any way, you’ve played an essential role in our journey.

Crafting Meaningful Connections

This year, we launched the Gifts of the Earth Tour, celebrating chocolate’s rich history and artisanal craftsmanship. Your enthusiasm made it our most popular experience, bringing us closer to pre-pandemic visitor levels.

Celebrating Success with Our Partners

From weddings to new businesses, our partners achieved incredible milestones this year. Their talents and perspectives bridge cultures and foster understanding—one craft, conversation, and connection at a time.

Team Updates

We welcomed Mauricio as our new Tour Guide and Rob as Program Engagement Manager, bringing fresh energy to our team. While we said goodbye to Claudia, she remains part of our extended family as she pursues new opportunities.

With Gratitude to Our Board of Directors

Our board members continue to guide us with dedication. Special thanks to Jeannie Jaworski for her impactful service over the past two years, especially in shaping our student programs.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate 10 years of bridging cultures and uplifting communities, I’m filled with gratitude and hope for the future. Together, we’ll continue creating transformative experiences and deepening connections that make a lasting impact.
