This year we hosted around 1,000 participants on One Mission trips. That's somewhere around 50 houses this year. Thats 50 families of 3 - 8. Thats between 150 - 400 individual lives impacted. Not to mention the experience gained by all the participants.
In order to pull this off we rely on a ton of volunteers and a ton of volunteer hours. There are a lot of nationals who have stepped up and decided to be a part of the change happening in their community. We are excited to work alongside these people everyday. They are an incredible example of what a transforming community looks like.
To put this picture in perspective, a year ago we had 3 local volunteers and the rest was mainly run by Americans coming down and helping out for a weekend at a time. While we appreciated their help and couldn't have survived without it, we are proud to say that this is on track to become a locally run operation.
