Jacqueline Jensen: Everyone deserves a chance at security and happiness. I am in a position to help shed light on poverty in Guatemala and contribute to fighting it, so I will.

Gina Shaw

Ebony Parker: I am honored to be a part of the empowerment, encouragement, support, education, and personal development of a world community neighbor.

Lissette Averhoff: Women have the power to change families and communities, but seldom have support in doing so. By giving just one woman the chance to change her situation, we are giving many others the support they will need.
