Maggie Doyne, who was awarded an honorary degree in December 2015 from St. Bonaventure, has released her memoir, “Between the Mountain and the Sky: A Mother’s Story of Love, Loss, Healing, and Hope.”
Doyne is co-founder of the BlinkNow Foundation and Kopila Valley Children’s Home and School in Surkhet, Nepal. At age 19, she used her babysitting money and worked with the local community to build a home for orphaned children in war-torn Nepal. In 2010, she and her team opened a school for 500 of the region’s most impoverished children. Throughout the past decade, BlinkNow and Kopila have worked to deepen and grow the organization through grassroots community development efforts.
Doyne’s memoir is a coming-of-age story about a young woman suspended between two worlds, as well as the love, loss, healing, and hope she experiences along the way. Her inspiring tale shows readers an important truth: The power to change the world exists within all of us.
Doyne and co-founder Tope Malla have been recognized around the world for their sustainable community based work at BlinkNow.
