This is indeed wonderful. I just came across the info that Martha's sister was involved in this charity. Laura Owens, Martha and Bob's daughter and Sarah's sister, was my best friend and neighbor growing up. I am remembering them today, especially, on the 20 year anniversary of their deaths. I was eagerly awaiting their flight's arrival when the news broke--I'd missed my friend terribly since their move to London for Bob's job in August of that year.

Thank you Ellen Ives.

Karen Hatch, I wonder if we know each other?

Happy Holidays to everyone.

Thank you, Karen Hatch, for writing in. I am very grateful that memories of my sister, Martha Ives Owens, and her family live on with their friends and fellow alumnae. Owens House is one way we honor their memory. We also fund a MHC scholarship in Martha's name-- for study abroad-- in the belief that cross-cultural education is essential.

I was so pleased to see the caption on the photograph featuring the Owens House. Sarah Owens, Martha Ives Owens' 14 year old daughter, was a good friend of mine. It comforted me in some way to learn that her mother and I shared an alma mater. Now that I know the Owens House exists, I will add it and TSF to my list of favorite charities.

I am supporter of the Sharing Foundation and the work is incredible, but I'm biased! Thank you for this informative article about the organization's work!
