Who We Are

Eternal Anchor

In the heart of rural Mexico, our team is building a movement of inclusion—bringing people together across cultures and backgrounds to ensure that children and adults with disabilities are seen, valued, and empowered to thrive. 

What We Do

We serve more than 250 families impacted by disability.

Eternal Anchor was founded in 2014 to respond to the unmet opportunity of serving individuals and families impacted by disability in the communities of rural Baja California, Mexico.

Why We’re Here

We aim to heal social divisions.

We work hard to heal social divisions so that all members of our community can be valued, experience belonging, and reach their God-given potential.

Belonging isn’t something that happens in a single moment. It is built over time—through relationships, trust, consistency, and knowing someone is beside you and understands how you learn. When students experience that kind of belonging day after day, something important happens.

They gain confidence to try. They develop new skills. They become more independent. And learning becomes something they participate in rather than something that simply happens around them.

This is why belonging is more than a value at Eternal Anchor. It is something we practice.

Belonging builds confidence to try, opportunities to grow, and a community where every student can participate. #Belonging #InclusiveEducation #DisabilityInclusion

Belonging isn’t so

🤟 𝗔 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗔 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Today is the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀, a day that recognizes the importance of sign languages and the right of Deaf people around the world to communicate, learn, participate, and belong.

It is also a meaningful anniversary. Twenty years ago, the United Nations adopted the 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, affirming that people with disabilities have the same human rights and fundamental freedoms as everyone else—including the right to accessible communication and inclusive education.

At Eternal Anchor, 𝗠𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 (𝗟𝗦𝗠) is part of everyday life. All of our teachers and students learn and use LSM because communication shouldn’t depend on everyone communicating in the same way. Building an inclusive community means giving people different ways to understand one another and be understood.

In today’s video, Miriam, one of our Education Services coordinators, and Jared, a student in our Buzos class, are helping us celebrate—and they have a quick LSM lesson for you, too!

Watch and learn three signs you can start using today: 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼. 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂?

Three simple signs. Three more ways to connect. 💙 #SignLanguage #DisabilityInclusion #InclusiveEducation #Belonging

Tomorrow is 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀, but at Eternal Anchor, sign language is part of every day.

Mexican Sign Language (Lengua de Señas Mexicana, LSM) is woven throughout our Education Services program. Our students learn LSM because communication is something we build together. When more people have more ways to communicate, more people can participate in learning, friendship, worship, and the everyday moments that create community.

That’s what inclusion looks like to us: not expecting someone else to find a way into the conversation, but making sure we’re learning how to communicate with one another.

Tomorrow gives the world a reason to celebrate sign languages. Around here, we celebrate them every day. #SignLanguage #InclusiveEducation #DisabilityInclusion
