Praise God for His work in us and through us during one week spent in Guatemala! Thanks to a combined effort of Hope Haven, Rotary Club, Wilderness Medicine, Bio Bio, and 14 amazing new friends on the trip, 30 children with various disabilities were fit with functional wheelchairs through a sustainable program. God introduced us to a beautiful country and a gracious culture, He reminded us of the value of humility in providing compassionate and responsible healthcare, and He brought together a group of like-minded individuals from all over the country to do good things and share in one awesome and blessed experience! We are truly grateful for the warm and easy friendships formed through this travel group. Thank you all for the laughter, the stories shared, and the overwhelming sense of encouragement as we look to our next endeavor in Nepal.
