6. Visit to Project Hope School

Hello everyone!
I hope you have all been having a great week. It's almost Friday, hang in there! :)

I'm just super excited to let you guys know that I visited my old school. I visited Project Hope, which is now called Skyview, and I was able to let them know that they have helped me acheive some of my goals. I told them that once I started going to church my dreams really took off, but I am so grateful for their service.

I was a student at Project Hope from 2003-2006. Of course, 10 years later not all of the same teachers are working there, but I was able to reunite with a teacher and another staff member. They were so excited that I went to visit them and let them know that I have graduated college, I'm moving to Guatemala, then going to get my Master's in Social Work.
I am so so thankful for their work and the difference they made in my life! Please consider helping me make a difference in the lives of the girls in Santa Maria de Jesus, Guatemala by making a financial contribution and keeping me in your prayers!

Would you become a Monthly Supporter and cover another box?

Partnering with me to serve with Mission Impact: One of the ways you can partner with me is by prayer.

I truly appreciate when you guys take time to respond to my emails/blog posts, so that's definitely a way that I could use support. :) As a missionary, I am responsible for raising 100% of my financial support. I am currently 75% funded. If you feel called to financially partner with me in this ministry, you could go to the   Mission Impact Giving Page .

Santa María de Jesús

Santa María de Jesús is the little town where Proximos Pasos, Mission Impact 's all-girls school, is located. This region is home to an agricultural community; it consists of men who are primarily farmers and field workers, and women who are homemakers as well as vendors of the harvest and their own handmade goods. When I make my way through the town at 6:45am there are small boys, young men, and older men who are probably grandpas who head out with their machetes, rain boots, and empty nets for a day of work. There are some boys and girls who go into the center of town to collect water from the public water reservoir (I guess you can call it?) because their home has no running water. There are women carrying baskets of food/produce/product on their heads to the market to sell for the day. Sometimes they carry their product to the microbús (big vans) to ride into the more populated city in order to sell to a larger population. This is the way that the community fun
