From the Classroom to Global Service: SIMS Changes Lives

Class of 2022 dental hygiene alumna Brenda Fausto’s life was changed on a SIMS trip. After enduring the challenges of being part of the “COVID class” with limited opportunities for hands-on mission work, she eagerly joined SIMS as soon as trips resumed.

Alongside a classmate, she traveled to Kenya and India, providing dental care to underserved communities and sharing the love of Jesus. The generosity of others made this transformative experience possible, inspiring her to continue to serve as a volunteer with current students.

By supporting SIMS on GivingTuesday, you give students like Brenda a chance to serve globally and make a lasting impact on both the student’s life and the lives they served.
