WELCA Global Engagement Travel Series
This experience is perfect for health care providers who would like to lend a hand and learn alongside this busy hub that pivots to meet needs as they arise. Practicing accompaniment (coming along side) will nurture time for sharing stories and skills as well as experiencing the view from the other side of the border. Along with your daily work you will experience community in worship, fellowship, bible study, the marketplace and dancing on the plaza.
