Stories from Past Volunteers

"When trying to describe life-giving missions like these words fail to explain what the soul goes through. We started by evaluating 27 beautiful human beings that generously gave us the opportunity to transform their faces. This also allowed us to transform not only their parents’ lives and spirits, but ours as well; now I can understand how the pain of the living God redeems souls."

"By the end of the week there was a visible shift in the community, and the smiles and hugs were infectious. We topped off the week with a fiesta at the farm. Our expectations were more than met when over 300 people showed up to celebrate." 


Susan Boone

"Of all the valuable things from this experience is the fact of finding people like Mission of Love volunteers because they show the best of the Human Being which is the ability to give love, solidarity and above all hope for the poor, and realize that giving your best effort and work for others gives you in return much more and above all peace and hope because you know there are people that make this planet have hope in finding the light of wishing to be better."


Claudia Moran

"I think every human being realizes at some point in life that one of their purposes in life is to serve others. To serve and help the people in need. Some people take their entire life to figure this out and others catch the idea pretty young in their lives. Personally, I have been blessed by meeting Mission of Love which is led by Kathy Price and conformed by an extraordinary group of volunteers. They together have taught me in only one year this valuable lesson of life." '

"Departure off the boat we were not only greeted with handshakes, but heartfelt smiles and hugs. You could just see the hope on their faces and depth of love in their eyes. We all felt like family within the first ten minutes of our arrival." 


MaryBeth Eckberg 

"It was a lot of really extrenuous work, but really gratifying. In the end it was pretty amazing to see all that we accomplished in such a short amount of time. Take my word for it… If you get the chance to go and do something like that, do it! You won’t regret it." 


Fred Housel

"It was really sad when we had to leave because of the compassion, kindness, and love we felt with these kindred people, we were not just workers anymore, we became family."


Karen A Studer

"The physical work is hard, very hard, and you pay the price in aches and pains. Why would any American in their right mind do such a thing? The answer to that question is simple. We, all of us, returned to our homes as better people than we were when we left."


Bob Price


"Kathy Price has been inspiring me for 25 years. Our friendship and our partnership to help those in need, spans over 2 decades. Truly, it seems like I have known her forever. When we met, we connected like old friends. She has taught me so much about the power of selfless giving, and humble service.."


Luana Rubin 

"We all return home changed people. To touch the lives of people who are truly in need opens us up to a different perspective and appreciation for life and love that we haven’t yet experienced.
 
This experience has changed my life. I believe this trip to Guatemala has given me greater purpose and clarity than ever before. I left a piece of my heart and I can’t wait to go back." 


Laurie Beaupre 

"Of all my experiences in the world of medicine and nursing, the most gratifying and exhilarating time of my life happened recently when I volunteered for a week at the Hospital Metropolitano in Guatemala." 


Amy Bush 

"We came from the land of plenty, the United States of America, where we have much; now we are witnessing and touching those who have none."
