“I came to unity with a new CHW. Their excitement of the conference as a whole was inspiring. Meeting CHW’s from all over the world makes my heart smile. I know this is the purpose, being a CHW, for my life.”
“I am from Ohio…I loved how spacious everything was and how there were so many workshops to choose from. So robust!”
“Seeing CHWs and CHW Allies really come together was beautiful! I learned a lot and I am truly grateful that I was able to be apart of this year’s conference.”
