Shawn
Co-founder of Tamar’s Hope
In a previous life, Shawn was a nurse and dressed mostly in scrubs. One day he decided to give up the sparkly clean hospital and head for Guatemala and the glamorous life of a missionary. These days he hangs out with prostitutes, tries to keep administrative order in his office, laughs with/at his adult kids, and occasionally goes screaming down Guatemalan roads on his touring bike.
Natalie
Co-founder of Tamar’s Hope
Natalie is British, drinks copious amounts of tea, and holds both a knife and fork while eating a meal. More than a decade and a half into this missionary thing, she’s as passionate as ever about going into the “sewer” to love on the least, last and lost. When she’s not mothering, wife-ing, or kissing prostitutes, she creates pretty things with her sewing machine and fantasizes about becoming a writer.
Marilyn
Tamar’s Hope Volunteer – English Teacher and Hardcore Pray-er
Marilyn runs most every day of her life, even when its dark, and even when no one’s chasing her. In the daylight you might find this compassionate social worker in Canadian prisons, far flung African villages, and most recently in the red-light districts of Guatemala City. But day or night or any continent, Marilyn will always stop to befriend any four-legged furry creature.
