The Human Race

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who joined us on a beautiful, early spring morning a couple weeks ago to participate in the Human Race as members of the Caroline's Promise team. 268 people walked or ran and raised nearly $1800 which will be used to Reclaim Hope for Orphans! (All the blue t-shirts are the Caroline's Promise team. The T-shirts said, "In the time it took me to to tie my shoes a child became an orphan". That's about 18 seconds, in case you were wondering.)

We'd especially like to thank Jennifer Barnes who spent many hours organizing the Caroline's Promise Human Race Team. We're also appreciative to the Volunteer Center of Greensboro for hosting the Human Race. It was very powerful to look around at the thousands of people who gave up their Saturday morning to support the numerous Triad non-profits represented at the race.

We'll see you all at the next Human Race hosted in 2011!

Mission team member's "idea" + Facebook Fundraiser = Jobs in San Nicolas

  Our last team to Guatemala was in November of 2019.  That seems impossible but it's true.   The primary focus of the team was a pediatric medical clinic that was hugely successful.  However, that wasn't the only seed that was planted that week in the community of San Nicolas.   Wanda King has been going to Guatemala with Caroline's Promise for years.  We can always count on her to bring hand sanitizer, goodie bags that she and her sister make for everyone, and lots of love!  One of the things I love most about Wanda is that she is willing to step in and do anything that is asked of her.  A few weeks before this trip she asked if she could bring a set of hair cutting supplies.  I didn't know if there was a need, but I knew that Wanda felt strongly that she should bring them and so I said "of course!"  Little did we know the impact that one idea would make.   Wanda spent most of that week teaching our partner, Monica how to cut hair.  We quickly realized that
