WHAT'S NEW
During Dr. Ruch's trip to Guatemala in early November, this patient came for her follow up. Her story is all too common in Guatemala.
In February she and her mother came to see Dr. Anne, and both had abnormal paps. They both had LEEPs done, a procedure that is part of the treatment for cancerous conditions. It was determined that the mother's cancer was advanced, and needed additional treatment, so the family sold their home and land - everything they had - so that they could pay for her chemo and radiation at a local hospital. The daughter told us there is no question that they did the right thing. Today they are both cancer free, and the family remains whole. The advocacy for screening that SewHope Guatemala staff does is saving lives. Thank you to our supporters for helping us in this fight!

Student Sponsorship Initiative

SewHope's education program is a half-day after-school program designed as a supplement to the public education system (all public schools are also half-day programs). We use individualized online programs in combination with direct instruction, small group work, hands-on activities and more to engage all types of learners.

Join this initiative and change a child's life! Beyond academic achievement, we value the development of each child's personhood. We envision students transformed by the love of God and equipped with the skills and tools needed to self-determine their futures.
