OUR TEAM

Sarah is a wife of 23 years, a mother of 6, a Surgical First Assistant by trade, and a lover of all things humanitarian. She studied Global Health and Organizational Leadership at Arizona State University. She believes in change and in uniting as a global family to help one other.

" Change is not only inevitable, it is necessary for growth to happen. We are each hardwired for change and must be willing to yield to it personally in order to manifest it throughout the world. Gandhi says to "Be the change", but you must first understand and say, I AM THE CHANGE. Live it, Love it, and Share it!!!"

 Amber is a Mother of 3, a Certified Surgical Technician in Labor and Delivery,  and believes that each one of us can create change through small and simple things. Amber enjoys working with children, but especially enjoys working with the women of the village.  

 "Women are key in shaping the world. Women give birth to children, children sit and learn at the feet of their mothers; children are our future.  Educate and empower women, and you virtually change the world through them."

Sebatu is from a small village outside of Bo, Sierra Leone. She remembers the ravages of the civil war, and feels it is her duty to help the under-privileged children in her own country. She houses several of our children and rears them as if they were her own. She is an accomplished midwife and will be assisting us in the development of a women's health center, with one of our partners, in a near by village.

 It really does take a village. The village council is made up of many individuals of the tribe that live in the village, and is headed by the Chieftess. Chieftess Francis leads her village well and supports and encourages unity throughout the village. She desires to keep all of the children from her village off of the streets and commits to working with all of the village members to care for each other as family.
