It is truly my honor today to introduce you to Tania Herrera. She owns and operates a "bed and breakfast" called Casita Huaran in the quaint farming village of Huarán in the "Sacred Valley of the Incas" in Peru. I asked her to join me for the show because I admire what she's built. And what she's built goes far beyond the small business that she runs. She and her team have numerous projects, all of which serve, care for, and protect the people, land, and culture found there. Also joining us later on in the program: Edson Chacon of Kindle Journeys. Casita Huarán is a great place to visit. A great place to stay. But what impresses me most is Tania's heart and how it's reflected in what she does. Join us for this episode of the podcast. You will be inspired. And you'll be ready to visit the great people at Casita Huaran.

Current estimates tell us that nearly 46 million people in the world today are trapped in slavery. Most of us go through our daily lives unaware that right below the surface, or right around the corner, someone has fallen victim to this terrible evil. Men, women, and children who are trafficked, sold, and used. Dave Batstone is Founder and President at Not For Sale, an impressive organization that helped more than 61,000 victims of slavery last year alone. Dave brings together his expertise in business, his creativity, and his commitment to the overlooked and the abused.

There are times in life when we make a decision to serve, when we go willingly on the great #adventure​ of service, putting others first, dedicating our time for something bigger than ourselves. And then there are those times when destiny makes the decision for us. When It somehow knows what's best for us. Even as we resist. My guest for this edition of the broadcast is Linda Gunter. She’s Co-Founder at Love Him Love Them, an organization that helps the widows, the orphans, and the otherwise overlooked in Haiti. Sure, she might’ve wanted to shy away from this responsibility at first. But now, all these years later, she tells us how very glad she is that destiny took over.

It's a new day. And most importantly, it’s a brand new year. I think it’s fair to say that we’re all glad to put 2020 behind us … and yet, if we’re honest with ourselves, we’re likely struggling with an uneasiness about the days ahead. This uneasiness is precisely why I chose to feature Operation Smile today. Not only because they do tremendous work around the world. But because we all need to be reminded that even when a situation seems absolutely hopeless, there is hope. My guests today join me to share Operation Smile’s remarkable mission to help children worldwide who suffer from cleft palates and cleft lips. This condition often marginalizes and steals away a person’s confidence. Joining us from Operation Smile: Lizet Campos from Lima, Peru. And John Streit from their Headquarters in the U.S. This is the story of new beginnings and hope restored.

Approximately 85% of the plants and animals found here are found nowhere else on Earth. The culture, the people, and the language are all unique. So beautiful is so many ways. And yet the poverty here is devastating. More than 70% of Malagasies live on about one U.S. dollar per day.

People in rural villages, in remote regions around the world, are often forced to leave their homes and their communities in search of a better life. When this happens, these people leave behind the beauty of their heritage, their culture, and even their language. So much is lost in the pursuit of opportunity. And that’s why my guest today, and the organization he works with, have determined to take the opportunity to them.

Listen in as Adam Asher's guest, Rodrigo Paris from Barefoot College, tells us how they’re helping the women in rural villages, in 93 countries worldwide, to become solar power engineers. Bringing light and hope to their hometowns.

Thanksgiving Special: The Edge of Adventure is dedicated to those who serve and genuinely love those who find themselves vulnerable, overlooked, forgotten, and suffering. People in need.

The podcast takes us around the world to places that are hard to get to, places that are off the grid. To countries far from here.

But this is Thanksgiving, an American holiday. And there is much need here, too. So I thought it fitting to turn our attention to an organization in the US that loves and serves those who are suffering from homelessness.

As we count our blessings and give thanks, as Americans who indeed have so much to be thankful for, let’s remember our brothers and sisters whose lives are not easy: The nearly 600,000 nationwide who have no place to call home.

Adam Asher's guest today: Todd Feske, Founder and CEO of Walking with a Purpose Minnesota. A man who knows what it’s like to be homeless. A man who has chosen to live his life in service to others.

Recent estimates tell us that more than 3.2 million children in Uganda are orphans. No parent, no grandparent, no aunt or uncle to step in and raise them. These precious children are left hungry, without shelter, and so very vulnerable.

Today’s edition of The Edge of Adventure podcast takes us to this African nation as we talk with Paul Hanson, Executive Director at Hands of Love Foundation, an inspiring group of people doing remarkable work as they care for so many of Uganda’s orphans. Feeding them, giving them a place to call home, a place to play, to be safe, and the opportunity to be truly loved.
