Episode 162: Learning to Give Back with Global Gift Foundation's Alina Peralta

 

This week on the show we have #MomBoss Alina Peralta, founder of Global Gift Foundation USA, a non-profit organization dedicated to working on projects that benefit women and children. We talk about her journey in building the multinational organization, why it is important to teach our children to give back from a young age and the many ways that we can give back even when it is not within our budget. 

Bricia is back from Oaxaca and she tells us a really funny story about little Eduardo. She also recommends us to check out the RISE Together podcast, a relationship and marriage podcast.

You can find more information about the Global Gift Foundation by visiting their website GlobalGiftFoundationUSA.org, following them on IG as @GlobalGiftUSA and Facebook.
