- SHIP’s land had a tenant—the land’s caretaker and his family. Our first construction-focused mission trip? Building a new home for that family, a family that became our lifelong friends.
- When a SHIP Tripper’s heart was touched after meeting four recent high school graduates who lived at the current orphanage and couldn’t afford to go to college, a scholarship program was born.
- Our first interns spend 5 weeks in El Salvador working with the children at the orphanage.
- The building progress moves slowly. Many times, we wonder if we’ll ever see kids living in these facilities.
