Today, our friends from Discovery Community Church are wrapping up an incredible week of service at Eternal Anchor!
Throughout their visit, members of their team shared their professional expertise through a series of valuable trainings for our staff. These sessions encouraged growth, strengthened skills, and equipped our team with practical tools to better serve the children, families, and communities entrusted to our care.
Other team members served alongside us in classrooms and at Casa Hogar, offering helping hands, encouragement, and meaningful connection. Whether teaching, learning, supporting daily activities, or simply spending time together, they brought compassion and joy to every part of the week.
Partnerships like this remind us that lasting impact is built through collaboration. When people bring together their unique gifts, experiences, and hearts for service, we all become stronger. We are deeply grateful to Discovery Church for investing in our mission, learning alongside us, and walking with Eternal Anchor as a true partner.
Thank you, Discovery Church, for an unforgettable week. We are grateful for all we accomplished together and excited for what our continued partnership will make possible! #bettertogether #collaboration #inclusion ... See MoreSee Less

Solidarity doesn't ask anyone to be inspiring. It just asks you to show up.
This week, the 30-member team from Otter Creek Church in Nashville, Tennessee, spent time with us on our ranch, in our classrooms, and with the Friendship Club Without Barriers. They didn't come to save anyone or leave with a tidy story about how their lives were changed by "these people."
They came to work alongside our students, our families, and our staff, trusting that dignity doesn't need to be earned through hardship, and that belonging isn't something outsiders grant. It's something we build together.
That's the posture Eternal Anchor asks of every team that visits: come to listen, not to fix. Come to be changed, not to be the ones doing the changing. This team did that well. They engaged ethically, they paid attention, and they treated people here as neighbors and collaborators, not as a cause.
This is why visiting teams matter to us. Not because we need extra hands for a few days, but because every honest, humble visit adds to something larger: a community, spanning a border, that keeps insisting everyone belongs.
Otter Creek Church, thank you for treating your brothers and sisters in the San Quintín Valley with the respect they deserve. You leave as part of our story now. Together, we are building something beautiful. 🧡 #InclusionMatters #Community #Belonging #BetterTogether ... See MoreSee Less

Five homes. Five home-cooked meals. One unforgettable evening of connection.
Last night, the 30-member visiting team from Otter Creek Church in Nashville, Tennessee, divided into five smaller groups for "Dinner with a Family." Five families from Eternal Anchor's school voluntarily opened their homes, inviting team members to gather around their tables for a meal, fellowship, laughter, and conversation.
These evenings often become among the most meaningful moments of a visiting team's week. Away from scheduled activities, there is time to listen, ask questions, share stories, and experience the kind of connection that cannot be rushed.
For Otter Creek, it was an opportunity to know our families more personally and to better understand both the challenges and the beauty of disability inclusion in the San Quintín Valley. For our families, it was a chance to share their stories and hospitality—and to be reminded that they are not walking alone.
To each family who freely chose to welcome guests into their home: thank you. Your generosity made this evening possible. Your hospitality matters. Your stories matter. Your children matter.
This is how partnership grows deeper: around a table, among neighbors, one friendship at a time. ❤️ #DisabilityInclusion #Belonging #Partnership #MissionTrip ... See MoreSee Less
