I am Amy Dittmar, a Northwest native with passion for traveling and our global community. Through grade school and college I've traveled to first and third world countries. I've always found the people in third world countries to be the most generous, thankful, and happy. I have now settled into my career as a UX Designer at Microsoft (2.5 years), and have less opportunity to travel. When I met Curtis and Grace Romjue they had an incredible vision and heart for fulfilling a real global need. It has been an honor and privilege to contribute to the healing and wholeness of women world wide along side Arts Aftercare.
