You Asked, Guatemala’s Country Director Answered

In October , we asked what questions YOU had for Children’s HopeChest’s Guatemala Country Director, Carolina Cardona. Our Guatemala partners had some awesome questions, including “How have CarePoint operations been impacted, and what is different now than in pre-Covid times?” and “How can we pray for you?”

In this month’s episode of “Build Relationships. Break Poverty,” you asked, and Carolina answered. We are featuring questions from HopeChest Friends, community members, and HopeChest program participants. Wil Crooks, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships reads your questions in this interesting episode!

There was no question of what my mission was to be. I had to serve the poor in my country. I am so blessed for the opportunity God has given me to join the Children’s HopeChest Guatemala Team. This is the place where He is moving to transform the lives of the children. It is an honor beyond definition to serve others every day here.” -Carolina Cardona
