🔴 LIVE from Eternal Anchor | Day 3 with the GROW Team
The team from @growrehabuw at University of Washington is spending the morning in our Adaptive Equipment Workshop, rolling up their sleeves and getting to work.
Today they’re helping build custom adaptive equipment that will be delivered to children and adults with disabilities later this week. Every measurement, adjustment, cut, and assembly helps create equipment designed specifically for the person who will use it—promoting mobility, independence, participation, and dignity.
It’s one thing to learn about rehabilitation in a classroom. It’s another to see how creativity, local materials, and collaborative problem-solving can change someone’s daily life.
We’re grateful for the energy, compassion, and willingness to learn that the GROW team brings to Eternal Anchor.
Stay tuned as these projects come together and make their way into the hands of the people who need them most. 💙 #AdaptiveEquipment #DisabilityInclusion #Rehabilitation #PhysicalTherapy #GlobalHealth ... See MoreSee Less

We are grateful to welcome the University of Washington's Global Rehabilitation Organization (GROW) to Eternal Anchor this week.
The visiting team includes eight doctoral candidates in physical therapy, one master’s candidate in prosthetics and orthotics, and the Director of Clinical Education. They arrived Saturday and jumped right in, beginning their week by volunteering at our 3rd Annual 6K Run, Walk, and Roll at Los Humedales.
This morning, the team participated in a training led by Eternal Anchor’s Health and Therapy Services team, learning how we use everyday materials to design and build adaptive mobility equipment for children and adults with disabilities. It was a hands-on look at how classroom learning becomes practical, creative, community-based care where clinical knowledge meets real-life needs, local resources, and the dignity of each person served.
“GROW began from a shared passion among students and faculty for global health and community outreach,” said Cristy Pacheco, Director of Clinical Education and teaching faculty member at the University of Washington. “Our goal is to inspire rehabilitation professionals to engage with their communities by providing training and support that make programs accessible and sustainable for people with disabilities. Ancla Eterna is especially meaningful because it combines education with deep community engagement and real impact. It creates a powerful learning environment where students don’t just study — they actively make a difference.”
Throughout the week, the University of Washington team will work with and learn from our Health and Therapy Services team in our Adaptive Equipment Workshop, at our school, and throughout the community.
Partnerships like this remind us that global health is not about one group bringing all the answers. It is about listening, learning, sharing skills, and walking together toward greater access, inclusion, and belonging.
Welcome to Eternal Anchor, UW GROW. We are so glad you are here. #GlobalHealth #PhysicalTherapy #DisabilityInclusion #CommunityBasedCare ... See MoreSee Less

𝗔 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲: 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
That was the theme of today’s 3rd Annual Eternal Anchor 6K Run, Walk, and Roll — and that is exactly what this day became.
Yes, there were medals. Yes, there were trophies. But the real victory was seeing the San Quintín Valley come together in support of inclusion, belonging, and one another.
Every runner, walker, roller, volunteer, sponsor, family member, and person cheering along the route helped make this day something beautiful. Different stories. Different abilities. Different journeys. One shared destination: a community where everyone belongs.
We are so incredibly proud of the way this valley showed up today.
Our hearts are full. Our gratitude is deep. And our commitment to building a more inclusive community is stronger than ever.
Thank you, San Quintín Valley, for walking this path with us! #DisabilityInclusion #RunWalkRoll #InclusionMatters #Belonging #BetterTogethger #BajaCalifornia #SanQuintin ... See MoreSee Less
