“When I joined Hands at Work, I thought that it was about working and getting paid, but over time I started to understand that Hands was more than work. It was a ministry. I started to find that I was also benefiting from what I was learning. My spiritual life started to change, and I learned how to care for my family. I learned a lot about the word of God, and I continue to learn about His word. I have seen a change in myself. The way I am right now and the way I have come to know God are different from what I knew and how I was at first. I’ve come to understand that this is a calling. The Lord has called me to serve the most vulnerable children, to work with the Care Workers and to help others who were in a similar situation to me.”
