49. Lindsey Parry, Founder and Designer of 4Love Clothing

50. I wanted to share the inspiration behind the clothing
line, 4Love, that I created. 4Love was born out of a
heart-wrenching book that would forever change the
course of my life – Half the Sky - by Kristof and
WuDunn. With each page that I read, I knew I wanted
to find a way to empower women. I wanted to give
women a greater voice so they could make decisions
that benefit them and their family. I wanted to give
them an opportunity to learn how to read, to learn how
to write and give them the feeling of self-worth!
According to the Chinese proverb, “women hold up half
the sky”; women are the solution to breaking the cycle
of poverty – not the problem – and I wanted to play a
role in this growing revolution.

51. In 2011, I moved to the Republic of Panama to create
Sowing Seeds of Love {SSOL}, a Christian non-profit
organization focused on empowering indigenous women
and children through education, creative arts, reading
programs, and team sports. During my first year of
running SSOL, I had the opportunity to increase my
understanding of the local culture, advance my Spanish
speaking skills, build relationships and establish
credibility within the community. All of this helped to
create the perfect foundation to move forward with the
seed of an idea that God had planted in my heart after
arriving in the Republic of Panama. This idea would later
become 4Love…

53. Nivia is twenty-four years old
and has two children Mayra
(9) and Saul (2) with
Septimo. Nivia was actually
the first woman that we
employed with 4Love and
she has been an absolute
gift! From the moment my
sister, Katie, and I met her,
we knew we had found
someone special. Her work
ethic and enthusiasm to learn
and try new things never
ceases to amaze me. It has
been an honor to have her as
a part of our team of women.

54. It was in witnessing her
husband, Septimo’s,
response to our excitement
to Nivia’s first dress that I
knew 4Love had the ability to
not only transform these
women’s lives through a
sustainable income, but
through the new light with
which their husbands viewed
them. Septimo lit up with
pride when we praised Nivia
for her work. It was a
priceless moment that lives in
my heart.

57. Danggit, Taguan,
and little stories of
Bolinao

58. “Just when you
thought you’re in
the business of
changing people’s
lives, you realize
how immaterial
your efforts are
versus theirs, who
are really in
control of crafting
their own stories.”

59. “I thought I would write
about poverty, but
theirs was a different
story,” he shares.
“Theirs is a story of
smiles, laughter, and
childlike ways,” quips
Rex.
