Kandrac & Kole is Going to Guatemala!

This is a happy, happy post for me to write this Sunday. Why? Because Joann is joining me in Guatemala this year!  YAY!!

Working with Catalyst Resources International missionaries in Guatemala has been my personal commitment for the last four years. Like any good life partner, Joann has always been very supportive of my time away from the office and has endured my happy and sad tears when I talk about my experiences in Guatemala.

Last summer I dragged two of our designer friends, Pamela Copeman and Melinda Headrick on my adventure. I think Joann got sick of hearing about all the fun we had so now she's taking that notorious leap of faith (WAY outside her comfort zone) and joining me in June!

So what's on the agenda this summer? We will fly out on Sunday, June 15th and return Saturday, June 21st. We will be assisting with CRI's two orphanages, helping with the local village school and most importantly, doing what interior designers do - building a home for a very deserving family.

We've got lots of funds to raise to make this trip happen. Most importantly, we need to raise $3,150 to build a two bedroom home with a stove.  (Having a real stove that vents out the roof is a big deal to the villagers who burn fires and cook on an open flame INSIDE their small homes causing severe respiratory problems).

What a difference we will make! It's a humbling and powerful feeling.

Joann and I will be personally reaching out to many of you for your support. If you'd like to donate, please leave a comment and we will contact you directly.

All our best,

Kelly and Joann
