    New York Times Best-Selling author of "Never Eat Alone" and "Who's Got Your Back," and CEO of Greenlight Consulting, Keith Ferrazzi, selected Cultural Embrace to assist him with a holiday service vacation to help out in orphanages in Antigua, Guatemala.  Ferrazzi is recognized as one of the foremost experts on professional relationship development, and has been described as one of the world's most "connected" people by Forbes, as well as being named by the World Economic Forum as a "Global Leader of Tomorrow."

    “We live such sheltered lives,” Ferrazzi says in his blog at www.keithferrazzi.com, “I showed up to Guatemala to care for those who the world has forgotten.” Compared to the living conditions of the children Ferrazzi worked with, our lives are indeed sheltered. Many of these children lack things that we commonly take for granted, such as family, clean water, and the opportunity to go to school. To put things into perspective, $10 could feed a family in Antigua for a week or more, and $300 could send a child to school for a year, giving them an opportunity to improve their lives, and the lives of their neighbors.
    Of the children whose education Ferrazzi has sponsored, he noted that “Every one of these kids told me that their future would include coming back to help their village. . . This more than anything else give me hope for the future here.” Keith Ferrazzi’s day job focuses on helping people towards success through their relationships with others.  It is fitting that through his volunteer work, he is able to see the invaluable constructive power of relationships and connections at work in the lives of the people he has touched during his time in Guatemala.
