Good Journeys

Hi. I’m Colleen Kaleda and I’m a freelance writer and photographer committed to good journeys. Join me here and on my blog on journeys to 20+ countries in the developing world, many in which I’ve led volunteer trips with Habitat for Humanity International over the last decade. All the photos here are for sale, with 20% of each sale donated to charities that better the lives of impoverished people.

PHILANTHROPY: Recent Projects

What charities are in my line of focus now? Now until the end of 2011, I’m donating 20% of my photo sales to Mercy Corps International, a Portland, Oregon based charity that aids the people of poor countries when disasters strike, helps build capacity through micro-enterprise, and other projects. I’m also tuning in to World Pulse, a multimedia network that supports women worldwide, and thinking about when/where to lead another volunteer vacation with Habitat for Humanity’s Global Village program.
