Our Friends of Casa Bernabé Board of Directors spent the first week of November in Guatemala for our annual onsite meetings.
We were thankful the entire Board was able to be present in person, and it was a great reminder of how wonderful it is to work with a close team of people who genuinely enjoy working together. We are excited to add a new member to the Board, Galen Mills from Wyoming. Galen and his wife, Kelsey, served at Casa Bernabé shortly after they married, and now many years later he has joined FOCB as a Board member.
It was a busy week on campus. We celebrated Día de Gracias, attended graduation, visited friends, met with staff members, helped Tony with projects, played with the kids, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, met the new puppies, worked on projects for next year, and that was all before the meetings started!
The last days of the trip were reserved for our meetings. We worked on some exciting projects for next year, strategized about fundraising, storytelling, and partnerships, and enjoyed the delicious food Yovelin and her team in the kitchen prepared for us. The most special part was the time we got to spend with all the house parents, hearing updates from them, sharing communion together, and encouraging them in the unbelievable work they do each day with the kids.
Each of us feel so blessed to be part of this ministry in this season. Thank you so much for supporting Casa Bernabé. We are honored to work alongside all of you to support the amazing ministry happening in Guatemala. You can meet the Board HERE, and if you ever have questions for us, you can send us an email and one of us will get back to you soon.
