MHA students Andrea Bresani ‘19 and Jordan Menne ‘19 were given the opportunity from their church, The Garden Fellowship, to travel to Carmen Serdán, Mexico and help disabled orphans in need through the ONE 27 Foundation. During the trip, the girls helped the organization in bringing their highest level of care and love to the orphans. They were assigned tasks from washing dishes to establishing relationships with the kids.  

“My task when I was there was to hang out with the girls and color with them,” said Bresani. “It was a cool experience to be able to travel there and learn new things.”

The mission of the ONE 27 organization is to work with other churches, spread love, and give the orphans the utmost care they deserve. “This whole experience just gives a new perspective on life,” said Menne. “To me, it’s like a privilege to have traveled there and helped them.”

Bresani and Menne are eager to return to the orphanage over the summer, as they wish to further help the organization in fulfilling their vision to spread endless faith and love. “The kids were all so comfortable around us and it was nice to see them open up,” said Bresani. “It means so much to see how their lives are impacted by what we’ve done.”
