Mission:

Our goal is to become a global community of professionals caring for young adults aged out of orphanages and foster care.

Sponsor:

Lighthouse Transitional Care is a Christ-focused nonprofit organization in Riga, Latvia. We work with young adults aged out of the orphan care system or from difficult family backgrounds. Our goal is to mentor and lead them toward healthy adulthood. We do this by building mentoring relationships and teaching practical life skills.

Notes:

High, low, buffalo!

Amanda’s high: Actually getting started
Amanda’s low: The fly in the room during the last recording session
Amanda’s buffalo: Amanda’s voice (because Callie accused her of being too quiet when she’s nervous)

Callie’s high: Podcast prep meetings at Mika
Callie’s low: Editing her own voice
Callie’s buffalo: The weird things she says (and edits out)

Jhonata’s high: Working with Amanda and Callie (awwww)
Jhonata’s low: Hearing youths’ stories
Jhonata’s buffalo: Hearing himself talk
