Episode Description
Everyone wants to know they matter, and there is so much need in the world and thus opportunity to make a difference. The question is how to connect willing and able volunteers hungry to make a difference with those across the world who need a hand. HELPS International has been in the business of serving Central America for more than 30 years and offers healthcare via medical missions, economic development via fortified agricultural methods, ONIL plancha stoves and water filters, and educational expertise to develop teachers and provide 21st century education to students. In this episode, a lead medical doctor, a HELPS International executive, and the host as a volunteer share their recent experience serving on a medical mission team in Guatemala on the Huehuetenango military base and how the experience informs their own sense of personal and professional purpose.
