Sharyn and Julie disembarked from the cruise ship in matching t-shirts that said “I Move Mountains.” The shirts were from Sharyn’s place of work in Texas, but the slogan seemed appropriate for their day of volunteer work with Friends of Cozumel.
They wanted a job to do – we had one for them!.
Friends of Cozumel is so grateful for volunteers’ time and donors’ generosity, but we also really appreciate those helping us make connections with others who want to give back to the community. Sharyn and Julie showed that a couple of simple connections can move mountains–or donations–great distances. The school supplies and bras came from women in Joyce’s U.S. church. Joyce made the FOC connection through Ilene and Byron Kendrick, two of the FOC leadership team who know her through mutual involvement in Volunteer Christian Builders.
Julie and Sharyn also got to try painting.
