Volunteer Support in Lima, Peru

Jean Samaniego, Volunteer Extraordinaire - Jean has been our volunteer in Lima since before Threads of Hope began!  Her personal commitment to bettering the lives of those in need, social justice, and her commitment to a hands on expression of her faith have her as the mentor of the ToH sewing groups.  Jean supports the women in personal and spiritual development as well as helping them with their artistry. She has also brought great joy into their lives by reading to them as they sew, sharing meals, laughter, and love throughout their years together.

Summer Intern - 2010

Bethany Carson - Bethany is an energetic breath of fresh air, as well as a student at Center College in Kentucky.  She arrives on her work days full of joy and with a willingness to do anything needed to support Threads of Hope.  She is solely responsible for our wonderful presence on Facebook and Causes.  This summer she worked at finding new sales sites, worked on design for our new PR initiative, while offering her youthful wisdom, insight, and good cheer to this worthy cause.  We were honored to have her with us for a few brief months.
