"The most challenging part of this trip was getting a snapshot of the hardships that the people of Guatemala live with everyday... I faced an internal challenge of realizing that sustainable change occurs incrementally and very slowly. But with the challenge, there is inspiration and good that results... This trip helped me transition from idealism to realism."
- Emily Welton, Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse
(March 2009 Volunteer Expedition to Guatemala)
Volunteers play a critical role in our mission and are an invaluable part of our community. In turn, our volunteers often tell us that their participation in our expeditions, and especially the bonds they formed with the people in our partner communities, have changed their lives forever.
