Commitment to Communication
Serving with Manna Project is a life-changing experience for our volunteers, but it can also be transformative for the whole family. It is important to us that you are informed and connected through every step of the process. You have raised a confident and adventurous young leader, and we know that your love supports them across the miles. It is our hope that you will follow along, be inspired by the experience of other families, and connect with the work we are doing together. Please read the article, Sending Your Child Abroad, which addresses many of the concerns that you may have.
