Anisa grew up on the island of Vanuatu in the midst of the Pacific Ocean and Allen grew up in Chicago, USA. Although on opposite sides of the world, we walked parallel paths of service, engaged in science and building community, which came to merge into one. We both now call Baltimore, USA, home. The beautiful art featured here has been lovingly put together by our dear friend Chloé Rouhani. She has perfectly captured the beauty of Vanuatu, Chicago and Baltimore.

"In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love." -Baha'u'llah
