Communication opens the door to connection.
At Eternal Anchor, Mexican Sign Language is not an extra. It is part of how students learn, play, build friendships, and express what they know. In our setting, where some students are Deaf, some are nonverbal, and others communicate in different ways, sign language helps create a classroom where more students can participate fully.
Sometimes that looks like a lesson. Sometimes it looks like a conversation. And sometimes it looks like a simple game of hangman becoming a moment of learning, laughter, and belonging.
Every sign matters. Every student’s voice matters. #SignLanguage #InclusiveEducation #Belonging ... See MoreSee Less

Something shifted for Dominic this week.
He recently changed classes and joined the Piratas, and he's already mastering the kind of everyday skills that quietly change everything. When his teacher Miriam told him how proud she was, he responded the only way that felt right.
That arm says it all — and so does that smile. This is what's possible when a child is seen, supported, and given the chance to grow. #DisabilityInclusion #LifeSkills #WhatsPossible ... See MoreSee Less

Welcome to Eternal Anchor, Kathryn Whaley and Sara Ray!
Kathryn and Sara are our first physical therapy interns of the year from UTMB Health (University of Texas Medical Branch) in Galveston, Texas. They will be with us for eight weeks, working alongside our Health and Therapy Services team under the guidance of Erin Cottos, their former professor and our physical therapist and Global Health Coordinator.
“This partnership with UTMB is a gift on so many levels,” said Erin (center). “Not only does it bring fresh energy and perspective to Eternal Anchor, but it gives future physical therapists a chance to practice in a real-world setting that challenges and grows their clinical and human skills. Internships like this bridge the gap between classroom learning and truly meaningful professional practice.”
During their time here, Kathryn and Sara will work hands-on with clients, gaining invaluable experience in adaptive care, cross-cultural practice, and community-based therapy.
“I wanted to participate in this internship to experience the community aspect of global health, and to be part of something bigger than myself,” said Kathryn.
“And I’ve always had a passion for missional work, and to do that in a community setting is what global health is all about,” added Sara.
Kathryn and Sara will receive their Doctor of Physical Therapy degrees from UTMB in August. We are grateful to welcome them into the Eternal Anchor community and excited for all they will learn, share, and contribute during their time in the San Quintin Valley. #PhysicalTherapist #GlobalHealth #DisabilityInclusion ...
