T hanks so much to our patients who donated supplies to share with the people of Guatemala! Dr. Stevenson, April, Sheila, Vernena, Shanell, and Shanell’s son Kyler just returned from a service mission there. We were able to join with other volunteers to make a team of 20 and provide dental screenings for 492 patients, treat 375 people, and remove 658 teeth. We also helped the local Mayan ladies build 10 garden boxes at their homes. Thanks to your generosity, our supply companies, team members, and friends delivered 273 hygiene kits, 175 blankets, 124 stuffed puppy dogs, 59 dolls, 216 pencils, 36 hats for newborns, and six soccer balls to the people we served in Guatemala. We took 186 newborn kits and 200 newborn hats, and those that we were not able to give to new mothers in the hospital were delivered to missionaries to give to new mothers in need in Guatemala and El Salvador. It was a life-changing experience for our team and brought joy in service, appreciation for all of our blessings, and most of all, a love for the hardworking, humble people there. We really felt the love God has for all his children. Making a Difference: Our Mission to Guatemala
We are already beginning to plan for next year, when we’ll take our own team! Thanks again for your generosity.
