Welcome to Inspired Hearts

Iris Kanina - In my early 20s, I embarked on a journey to help others that would take me to some of the most challenging environments in the world. As a young woman with a fierce passion for making a difference, I was determined to use my skills and knowledge to help those in need.

I began my journey in Kosovo, where I served as a peacekeeper during a turbulent time of post-war reconstruction. Despite the difficult conditions and limited resources, I worked tirelessly to provide support, guidance, and resources to the local community. I was inspired by the resilience and strength of the people I met, and I learned valuable lessons about the power of empathy, compassion, and human connection.

After my experience in Kosovo, I continued my mission to help others by joining Operation Iraqi Freedom, in Middle East and Central Asia. I worked closely with local communities to provide assistance, promote peace, and foster positive relationships between the military and the Iraqi people.

Through all of these experiences, my passion for helping others remained as strong as ever. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, and I am committed to doing everything in my power to make that a reality. Whether it's through my work with adolescent girls or other initiatives, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the world and empowering others to do the same."
