We’re proud to be connected with these meaningful causes and organisations.
Pamela Fruin, a dear friend of Julie's initiated the idea to create beanies for the nuns and disadvantaged young women of Bhutan. What began as a collaborative community project through Soroptimist International with women throughout Western Australia creating these red beanies, has grown into a deep and rewarding exchange.
Both for the women that lovingly create these hand made beanies and scarves, and for those who receive them. Journeys of the Spirit has agreed to continue supporting this SIWA project by delivering the beanies on each of our journeys to Bhutan. If you would like to contribute to this project in any way, please contact us.

The Hunger Project’s goal is to end world hunger. Their approach is different – they see people living in hunger as the solution, not the problem. They shift the mindsets of women and men so they transform into leaders for the sustainable end of hunger. Then, through their programs such as education, microfinance, agriculture and health, they empower people with the skills, knowledge and resources they need to break the poverty cycle themselves.
