Bachelorette’s hottest baby mama, Emily Maynard, and her new fiance Jeff Holm celebrated their new engagement with a little trip to Ghana. ”One of our first conversations that very first night was when I told him I want to go on a mission trip,” Maynard told Chris Harrison at the After The Final Rose show. “I didn’t know what he did at the time and it turns out they were planning one at the end of July.”
Holm just happened to be the CEO of his own company, called People Water that funded a few well projects in the Ghana area. And just a few days after the televised proposal, the happy couple boarded a plane and visited the villages where the wells were built. ”Emily and I spent a week visiting different villages around Ghana that have recently received fresh water wells,” Holm told People when the couple returned to the U.S. on Friday. “We typically visited two villages a day and spent some time interacting with the villagers.”
Jeff’s company and their partner Generosity Water have been building these wells since 2010 “People Water had each well completed before we arrived, which means the digging and labor is done and we’re ready to turn on the water. We visited the villages, met and celebrated with the people who will be drinking from the wells and played with the children.”
Jeff also couldn’t stop bragging about his new bride to be, ”It wasn’t enough for her to just show up with the People Water crew and sit on the sidelines. She brought the biggest suitcase I’ve ever seen full of dolls, toys, books and bubbles for the kids in every village. Emily was by far the most loved person on the trip.” And this is just the beginning, Holm added, “We’re both looking forward to helping more people around the world and a lifetime of adventures together.” Love these guys!
