Y of the USA

Thank you to all of you that have prayed and encouraged through the past 5 months of uncertainty. I am excited to share with you that I have officially accepted the position of Project Manager of Health Equity with the Y of the USA. I will be working nationally to reduce health disparities for our racial and ethnic minorities.
I have been working on a contract basis with the Y for a little over a year and the opportunity came about for me to apply for a full time position. I have been interviewing for the past 5 months and had almost given up when the news came that they had selected me for the position. I will be traveling 30% of the time and working remotely for the remainder. This means I will be able to work from either here or Miami! And yes, that means I will be able to spend more time with Rob. This is such an exciting opportunity and it would not have happened with the support of family and friends. Thank you!

Also, on a high note...Rob will be traveling to Honduras this week. His heart is working alongside the men and women of Latin America and that is just what he will be doing this week. The project entails supporting and documenting the role out of a training/education and leadership program. It the first of its kind in Honduras- the program was created by the men and women of Honduras to meet the unique needs of their community. What is most exciting is that this is what LAM is all about: Supporting the local grassroot work of hardworking men and women in Latin America. The role of LAM is come alongside and support them to create sustainable change... And it is amazing to know we get to be a part of it.
Please pray for Rob as he travels. Honduras has its safety challanges to put it mildly. But we are simply thrilled to witness the very first roll out of such an incredible program.

One last note. As you already may know October is fundraising month for us. If you have not already please consider a small donation in the amount of $10. This is approx. 2 starbucks trips. Those $10 go a long way to support the very men and women who are working diligently to start programs such as the one in Honduras. I would also encourage you to pass on the invite for support to 10 of your friends. We have found that supporting LAM in turn blesses you! Please share the opportunity to be part of such an incredible organization with your friends and family. You too can support the local leaders of Latin America as they create sustainable change in their own communities.

Thank you and expect an update of the Honduras trip!
