Haven of Hope International Founder Alice Skaff encourages kids in orphanages to climb their own personal mountains. In October she set the example in life.
EXECUTIVE: Alice Skaff left a 25-year career in elder care two years ago to devote full-time leadership to Fort Myers-based nonprofit Haven of Hope International.
