Her students and colleagues voted her “Teacher of the Year” in 2019. One of her favorite parts at school is her recycle club, Project Smile. She and her husband and her students collect recycling on a daily basis; turn it in for cash and forward the funds to Smile Train. This amazing organization provides free cleft palate surgeries for children around the world. In addition, she and her husband are the proud sponsor parents of six children: two in Uganda, one in Zimbabwe, two in India and one in Bolivia. Dana has been able to physically embrace each one. Her heart is committed to their education and abundant life even in the midst of difficult circumstances. She has traveled to over forty countries, sharing her faith and hope in orphanages, churches, schools, hospitals and more. In so doing, she has met precious people of so many tribes and languages who have eternally impacted her life. For that, she is grateful. Her other passions include her family, sipping a great cup of coffee with mom or friends, riding bicycles with her husband and best friend, enjoying a morning walk and relaxing with a good book as the birds sing outside. Her love for Jesus and people compels her to share her stories in the hope that others may be inspired to an abundant life of joy.vizualizați mai puține
