Dear Valued Partner,

We hope this message finds you well. We want to start by apologising for our absence in recent newsletters. It’s been a busy, but productive time for us, and we are so grateful for your continued support, which continues to make all the difference.

Recently, I (Paul) was deployed to Brazil to assist with the devastating floods and to the Caribbean in the aftermath of the hurricane, as part of the Samaritan's Purse DART (Disaster Assistance Response Team). During these missions, Gemma and I have been reflecting on how blessed we are to have a community like you standing with us. Currently, we are writing to you from Tanzania, where we are deeply engaged in our mission to rescue and rehabilitate street children.

We are thrilled to share some exciting updates with you in this newsletter. Firstly, after much anticipation, the Mobile Shower Unit is now complete! This project has been a labor of love, and we can't wait for you to read more about it and see the impact it will have on the lives of those we serve in Spain.

In addition, we are excited to highlight the first Medical Outreach initiative that has just been conducted in collaboration with Ocean Clinic Marbella. Through this partnership, we were able to perform life-changing transformative surgeries for those in need. This new avenue of our mission is incredibly close to our hearts, and we are eager to continue this work with your support.

This newsletter also highlights the incredible success of our recent summer gala. The event was a testament to the strength of our community and the shared passion we all have for making a difference. We are so thankful for everyone who attended and contributed to its success, with a special thanks to the Collective Calling events committee.

As we reflect on the past seven years, we are humbled by how Collective Calling has grown from a small initiative into a force for good in both Spain and Tanzania. This journey has only been possible because of your unwavering support and belief in our mission.

We are excited for what lies ahead and are deeply grateful to have you with us on this journey. Your dedication is helping us to change lives, one step at a time.

Blessings,

Paul & Gemma Carr

Mobile Shower Unit

We are incredibly excited to announce that the Mobile Shower Unit, a vision we at Collective Calling have carried for many years, is now a reality! This innovative project has been a long-held dream, born out of our commitment to restoring dignity and providing essential services to those in need. The Mobile Shower Unit will serve as a vital resource for the homeless community in Spain, offering them not just a place to wash, but a renewed sense of hope and humanity. This milestone is a testament to the power of perseverance and the unwavering support of our community.

We are thrilled to share the success of our first Medical Outreach initiative, conducted in collaboration with Ocean Clinic Marbella. This groundbreaking project brought together a team of skilled surgeons and medical professionals dedicated to providing life-changing transformative surgeries for those who otherwise would have no access to such care. Through this initiative, we’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that specialised medical attention can have on the lives of the most vulnerable. We are incredibly grateful for the partnership with Ocean Clinic and look forward to continuing this vital work, bringing hope and healing to those in need.
