      I've been on retreats around the world and several volunteer projects. This was the perfect blend of service and spirituality. Before each day of service, we had yoga and mindfulness practices in spectacular settings looking at mountains and beaches, Working with the children and their families was the highlight of the trip though. Language barriers don't matter when you're in service. As much as the kids enjoyed our activities and presents, though, the volunteers received the real gift. Every day, my heart was even more full. And I feel like I met a new extended family with the other volunteers. There's nothing I would have changed about this journey and I can't wait to do it again!

      I first met Sixcia Devine and heard about Caritas Smile & their adventures at a leadership program back in May 2022. The minute Sixcia started sharing with me the life-changing and important work she does in the world with her organization Caritas Smile, I knew this was something that I wanted for myself to personally experience, and then share with my community and the world. I had absolutely no idea how this was going to happen or what an extraordinary adventure this would be both personally and professionally but knew it was something I wanted to do. From the very start, Sixcia had organized a soul filled, heartfelt, well, organized, jampacked, service focused, professionally organized, life-changing, Journey for both the participants and the recipients. We spent several days learning about the culture of the country. We learned about their music, their foods, their interests, their needs, their struggles, their desires, and learned abo how we can be of service to this community right now. Many lives were changed throughout our time together. The lives of Caritas Smile‘s participants and every single soul that we touched along our journey. Then, the lives of those souls that have been, in some way, inspired or touched and the ripple effect of kindness and love that has been created is endless. I can’t wait to journey with Caritas Smile’s team again, and again, and again…
