Our founder's work and educational experiences allowed him to travel to Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Brazil, Peru, Japan, Kenya, and the Netherlands. Half of these trips were through Advance Parole, and each involved new challenges and provided life-changing learning opportunities. We are excited to help extend these opportunities to you!
