EP408: How "MasterMission" in Guatemala Gave Me New Perspective, & the Opportunity You Have To Change Children's Lives

Hannah Nadeau Girón is the Executive Director at Guatemalan Relief for Children's Education Services (GRACES). She shares the stories of the people she works with in Guatemala who face impossible situations every day, but still keep a positive and cheerful attitude. It's important to always feel grateful for what you have even when life seems to be raining down on you. Key Takeaways: When you give back, it changes your heart. Hannah moved to Antigua, Guatemala and it is now her life to give back to the community. Hannah moved to Guatemala in 2011 when she was 21 years old. There were some hardships at GRACES in the very beginning and people back home were telling Hannah that maybe it's time to come back. Did Hannah have any fear when she moved to Guatemala? Why is Guatemala so special? What types of families does Hannah work with? Minimum wage in Guatemala is about $280–300 a month and a sustainable wage for a family of four is $350. A lot of the families Hannah works with are making less than minimum wage. The people who live there are so happy. Why is doing mission work so important for us? Hannah shares a story of a woman trying to get medication for her Lupus and being robbed as well as struggling to afford the medication (they cost $200). It comes down to having faith and perspective. There are blessings all around us, it just depends on what you choose to see and believe. How has GRACES been navigating the COVID-19 pandemic? This pandemic has really hurt the families greatly. The secret to living is giving! How can you get involved with GRACES? Child labor is a huge issue in Guatemala. A sponsorship can change a child's life! You can go to WeAreGraces.org/unsponsored to see which children need your support! Alex will set up a coaching call with you if you donate $90 a month to GRACES!
