Note: How do you deal with pain? It is a universal question, especially this year. But is is also a question we face as we train others to work with people with disabilities in different places around the world. When I read this guest post by Meg Apperson on Ann Voskamp’s blog (https://annvoskamp.com/2020/10/from-broken-to-beautiful-when-you-need-to-believe-theres-a-plan-for-your-pain/), it so resonated with my heart, describing why we do what we do with TCI, I wanted you to read it too. Thank you Meg Apperson for permission to share this post and others here.If you want to know more, check out Meg’s blog (http://www.fourfinelives.com) and or her new book Sky Full of Stars.

For Tomasa in the mountains of Guatemala, only studying to the third grade set her up on a fairly predestined course: get married and raise a family. She did just that until she attended one of our rehabilitation promoter trainings to learn how to provide basic physical therapy services for children and adults with disabilities in Guatemala.
