“Sister Care is something that has impacted not only my life but the lives of thousands of women around the world. I will never forget when my friend Carolyn told me that they were willing to come to Guatemala to share this workshop. I didn’t know then what a blessing this would be for the women leaders of Latin America. This first workshop was so inspiring and enriching for the participants that they each went home and reproduced it in all their countries from Mexico and Central America.”
— Olga Piedrasanta, Guatemala
