Renee Wagner RRP, Director of Creative Services & Brand Management, Grand Pacific Resorts, is a long-time supporter of Christel House. Recently, she visited students and teachers at Christel House Mexico (CHMX) for the first time. Impressed, she calls the trip a once in a lifetime experience. “The students understand the great gift they’ve been given with this access to education and resources,” says Renee. “They speak with gratitude and demonstrate determination to invest in themselves to break the cycle of poverty in their family and community.” Renee visited families at home and saw first-hand the challenges the children face each day. It was an emotional experience but she recommends it. “It will profoundly shift your outlook and perspective,” says Renee. “I’m grateful to Christel House for the life-changing work they are doing and to the families for opening their hearts and homes to share with us.”
