The Kindness of Strangers: Surviving Near Death Experience Abroad - Alison Wright

Photographer and National Geographic Traveler of the Year, Alison Wright “Tries to be aware of every breath” after a near death accident in Laos. A collision left her unconscious with half a severed arm, a heart and a broken back. Alison recounts her story of the heroic strangers who attended to her and the villagers who sowed up her arm in the book Learning to Breathe. She created the Faces of Hope Fund to support woman’s and children’s rights around the world. All inspired by the idea of the kindness of strangers.
