MESSAGE FROM FROM THE
chief • goer
We have traveled globally, helping others that may have needed support, friendship, love and often times, just a lift up. This is our community. Going out into the world, taking risks for others involves a bit of courage and can be messy at times. But the gift – to live out a life of purpose and meaning, being brave, being an adventurer, living a life that is intentional and deliberate, is balanced compensation. Through discovery and dedication, the results of our work are proving to be magnificent.
Focusing on the needs of others in the villages where I had once been a guest, became a glorious mission. If we could help those in poverty to learn to live healthier lives, if we could provide guidance and support to increase the number of children attending school and girls moving on to higher education, launching teens and young women into the entrepreneurial generation, then this would alleviate poverty for these people – those that are each a small piece of our family now. In a world with unlimited options and hope, iwilGO is working closely in these villages to help others live out healthier and more productive lives – lives that were intended for them. Our teams work on the ground, in the villages, experiencing the local way of living – changing the world along the way. We know our work is a magical gift and and in turn is creating generations of brighter futures. The Joanne House in Kenya, The Jenny House in Ghana, and the Grace Mission House in Haiti are the cornerstones for training, building opportunity and inspiring others to grow and succeed in their lives. We get to call Kenya, Haiti and Ghana home, it is our community, and an honor. Be inspired to join the iwilGO community. Discover how you can be a goer, a giver… take a risk, live your intention, GO get a bit messy. ~ Madam Bender
ONLY THOSE WHO RISK GOING TOO FAR CAN POSSIBLY FIND OUT HOW FAR ONE CAN GO
