Last May, Dr. Justin Sherfey and his team from Washington State visited Eternal Anchor to provide orthopedic consultations for children throughout the San Quintin Valley. But their impact didn't end when the team went home.
During their visit, Erin Cottos, our physical therapist and coordinator of global health initiatives, received hands-on training in clubfoot casting. The team also left casting materials behind so that care could continue long after their time in Mexico.
Soon after, Erin and our Health and Therapy Services team met this young girl and her family. For seven weeks, Erin provided serial casting for her clubfoot, helping guide her foot into a better position and supporting her long-term mobility.
Recently, she and her family came to our Adaptive Equipment Workshop for a follow-up visit. And then we watched her walk independently. That moment made everyone’s day.
This is why shared learning matters. When visiting professionals come alongside local teams with humility, training, and practical support, children and families continue receiving care after the visit ends. Skills stay in the community. Follow-up becomes possible. Mobility improves. And a child takes steps toward greater independence, confidence, and participation in daily life.
At Eternal Anchor, this is the kind of partnership we believe in: care that is personal, practical, and rooted in dignity. #AdaptiveEquipment #PhysicalTherapy #DisabilityInclusion ... See MoreSee Less

Every step matters.
Hector, one of our students in the Buzos class, has been working hard on subtraction. He understood parts of the process, but remembering each step was not always easy. But Hector kept going.
This week, everything began to click. The steps came together. The practice paid off. And now Hector is completing subtraction problems on his own. That is worth celebrating.
At Eternal Anchor, we believe progress is not only found in big milestones. It is also found in the moments too many people overlook: a student solving a problem independently, gaining confidence, and discovering what they are capable of doing.
These moments matter because Hector matters. His learning matters. His confidence matters. His future matters. Way to go, Hector! We are so proud of you! #InclusiveEducation #disabilityinclusion ##studentsuccess ... See MoreSee Less

Morning devotions are more than a time to listen. They are a time to participate, imagine, move, communicate, and belong.
At Eternal Anchor, our students are not passive observers in their education. They are invited into the story.
When students with disabilities are given meaningful ways to take part, learning becomes more personal. Confidence grows. Communication opens. Joy becomes part of the lesson. And every student is reminded that their voice, their presence, and their participation matter.
Inclusive education means creating space for students to learn in ways that honor who they are. Sometimes that looks like reading, writing, signing, or answering questions. Sometimes it looks like dressing up, acting out a Bible story, laughing with a teacher, and discovering that learning can be full of life. #InclusiveEducation #belonging #InclusionMatters ...
