John Heubsch—Executive Director, Common Hope

In 1985 a group of Guatemalans asked the Heubsch family from Minnesota to help educate their children. The family responded by starting Common Hope. Since then, Common Hope has provided education, health care and housing to more than 8,000 children and adults in impoverished areas of Guatemala.
