Kathy Goodwin is a volunteer who came from England for 3 months with Mission Direct to work with The Samaritan Foundation. Kathy lives in the mission house in villa Esperanza giving her a first- hand opportunity to touch many lives.She teaches the children the importance of a healthy diet and other fun things using both her English and Spanish. Wednesday afternoons she gathers up the children, says a prayer and then gives them a bag to collect rubbish around the church and town square of the village. Afterwards, the children wash their hands, and then Kathy gives them a cup of homemade soup for their efforts.
One day, her husband Francis showed up on a surprise visit from the U.K. and stayed a week to lend a helping hand.
Kathy likes working on her own program, visiting the houses, seeing what the need is and doing what she can to help.
There are many opportunities to come and spend a few weeks, a month, or an extended period of time volunteering to help the poor with the Samaritan Foundation. Knowing Spanish is a definite asset but even if you are just learning, come and see what you too can do!
