2004

We visit El Salvador for the first time to see if a piece of land was suitable to build an orphanage on. We expected to go there only once. Spoiler Alert: God had other plans.
After that trip, SHIP International is established and becomes a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
SHIP raises funds and purchases 12 acres of land outside San Salvador. By the end of 2004, it’s obvious that we’ll be taking more than one trip to El Salvador
