Beauty from Ashes – A Journey Through Landscape, Culture, and Resilience Travel isn’t just about sightseeing—it can be about transformation. This virtual journey to Bosnia and Herzegovina will take you through stunning cityscapes, breathtaking waterfalls, and iconic bridges over troubled waters. You will see where ancient streets tell modern stories, where the tragedy of war and genocide has given way to hope. Your complimentary souvenir will be lessons learned about peace, understanding, and our shared humanity. Your “guide” (aka presenter) for tonight is Laurel Wirtanen-Siloy—Kent State University External Engagement Officer, proud mom to two chihuahuas, and fellow Rotarian. Forever changed by meeting survivors of war and genocide, Laurel found her life’s purpose and now serves as board president of Friends of War Childhood Museum and founded The Philanthropic Globetrotter.
