Testimonials

"It was such a blessing to be here with you. In these past few months, I’ve had a strong feeling of lacking capacity and feeling insufficient to my task, and thus have been thirsting for some additional training to build capacity and knowledge for both myself and my teammates. I was so thankful when I found out about WISPAD. It’s been so encouraging to get a professional perspective and introduction to this work I have been called to, and to get honest and open perspectives from other organizations."
