What you see here didn't start with a "product." It started with people. With an adult who tried something new and slowly realized, "I can make something worth sharing."
In the Eternal Anchor gift shop nearly everything is handmade, rooted in the San Quintin Valley, and created by participants in our adult program. And when those items sell, 100% of the proceeds go directly to the adult who made them. Not a percentage. Not a stipend. The full amount, because their work has value.
This is what inclusion can look like when it's practical, local, and real: a person building skill, earning income, and being seen as an artist...not a project.
From stylish t-shirts to unique hats and special handcrafted gifts like bars of goat's milk soap and handpainted oyster shells from the San Quintin Bay, everything we offer captures both the spirit of Mexico and Eternal Anchor. An online store will soon be available, making it possible to browse our selection and shop no matter where you are in the world. Our gift shop is located at Posada Ancla Eterna, Calle I MZ 2 LT 7 101 in Vicente Guerrero. #DisabilityInclusion #MadeByHand #Dignity #SanQuintin ... See MoreSee Less

Some of the most important things we give children with disabilities do not fit neatly into a progress report.
Not every victory is academic. Not every milestone happens in therapy. Some of it looks like confidence growing in ordinary moments. Some of it looks like being part of the noise, movement, friendships, and freedom that make up a normal school day.
That matters more than many people realize.
For too many children with disabilities, life gets shaped by limits other people assume for them. They are too often protected from participation instead of welcomed into it. But real inclusion does not stop at the classroom door. It reaches into recess, routines, relationships, and the everyday experiences that help a child feel, “This place is for me too.”
That is what makes moments like this worth noticing. Not because they are unusual. Because they should not be. #DisabilityInclusion #Belonging #EveryChildMatters ... See MoreSee Less

Disability theology starts with a simple, steady claim: a disabled person is not a category. Not a symbol. Not an object lesson. Not an interruption. Not someone to be "fixed."
A disabled person is a neighbor. A whole person, made in the image of God, worthy of honor, rich with gifts, capable of joy, agency, friendship, and contribution. Fully seen by God, fully claimed by God, fully included in the story God is telling.
When we talk about inclusion, we can accidentally treat it like a project we do for someone else. But the deeper invitation is for all of us: to become the kind of community where worth is never measured by speed, speech, independence, or output—because that’s not how God measures.
The Church doesn’t make room for disabled people as an act of kindness. We recognize what has been true all along: they belong. We belong. Together. #DisabilityTheology #ImagoDei #Belonging ... See MoreSee Less
