Over the holiday weekend, we had the privilege of hosting our incredible board here in Guadalajara.
It was a packed weekend filled with multiple home visits, back to school drives, team meetings, soccer games, village and community programs, teachings and of coarse site seeing.
Doctor Tavis and his wife Kirsten, RN saw multiple babies, as well as adults, in addition to an afternoon spent with families to discuss the epidemic we seem to be facing when it comes to kidney failure.
Diane, spent many hours teaching, loving and simply being a mama to everyone she encountered.
We can honestly say, we couldn’t have a more incredible group of people linking arms with us in the way that they do.
They tried everything that was offered to them, and more. They danced, sang, laughed, encouraged and educated every step of the way.
Our team in Guadalajara hosted so well, making this a trip to remember.
We are so thankful for our Marked Family and every role that each person plays. Together we are stronger. Together we are seeing transformation. Together we are impacting the Nations.
Here are a few highlights from our trip:
