During the first week of March, 15 IS caregivers selected as part of the 2019 IS Mission Service volunteering trip were in the foothills of Guatemala, helping build latrines and hand washing stations for households that lacked these basic necessities so critical for sanitation and disease prevention.
In the IS Updates following the trip, we’ve been having some of the caregivers on the 2019 trip share how it felt to live our Mission and Values in those communities and what lessons they took back.
2019 Participants: Rachelle Yeates (leader), Josh Hindman, Adam Dial, Ed Lane, Nika O’Brien, Jenee Pool, Melinda List, Mark Bustamante, Linda Bovee, Theron Depaulo, Kim Chase, Kirsten Halseth, Shayn Belcher, Raina Pickett and Anna Persha
