In 2015, Melanie and Rachel's first mission trip together sparked a lifelong friendship and a deep commitment to serving others. Inspired by their experiences, they decided to sponsor Maria, Ani, and Karla, children from Choulecta, Honduras. Their dedication to these children and the local community led them to return to Choulecta multiple times, working with the local church to support the village of Limon.

Inspired by their experiences, they decided to sponsor Maria, Ani, and Karla, children from Choulecta, Honduras. Their dedication to these children and the local community led them to return to Choulecta multiple times, working with the local church to support the village of Limon.
Over these trips, Melanie and Rachel actively contributed to projects like building houses, installing water wells, and maintaining the Education Center. They realized the need for a non-profit organization to provide ongoing support. Their vision was clear: create sustainable, long-term projects the local church couldn't fund and engage like-minded individuals willing to return year after year.
Their primary goal was to develop sustainable projects and identify dedicated individuals who shared their commitment. They aimed to secure more sponsors, enabling additional children to attend the Educational Center, offering them a safe space, meals, education, and religious instruction.
In 2023, Hearts for Honduras (H4H) returned to Honduras, constructing a new concrete patio at the children's center and providing a new roof for shelter. H4H plans to return in July 2024, seeking your support through donations.
Your contributions make a significant impact on their mission, and they extend their heartfelt gratitude for your generosity. Together, we can continue transforming lives in Choluteca.

Looking for a job? If you're not getting emails from potential employers, your Indeed resume might be the culprit. Resumes are parsed into CTS or ATS systems. If your primary email is Indeed, most CTS-ATS systems can't send emails to an Indeed address, resulting in bounces. The solution? Make sure to include an actual email address on your resume. Your job search success hinges on it.

The Impact of Delayed Hiring on Team Dynamics www.nrlcandidates.com Hiring a new team member is a crucial task that requires timely action. However, when positions remain unfilled for 60 to 90 days or longer, it can significantly disrupt team dynamics. Several major issues arise from prolonged vacancies: Increased workload for existing team members: When a role is vacant, other employees often have to take on those responsibilities, leading to burnout and decreased morale. Lower productivity: Team members juggling extra tasks may see a decline in the quality of their work, which can affect project timelines and deliverables. Uncertainty and frustration: Prolonged vacancies create a sense of uncertainty within the team, which can lead to disengagement and a lack of motivation. Strained team dynamics: Increased stress and workload imbalances can result in conflicts and misunderstandings among team members, harming collaboration and innovation. Potential loss of top talent: The longer a position is open, the greater the risk of losing high-quality candidates who might seek opportunities elsewhere. Missed opportunities for fresh ideas: Delays in hiring can mean missing out on the diverse perspectives and new ideas that new team members can contribute. At NRL Candidate Solutions, we understand the difficulties that come with delayed hiring. Our goal is to help organizations fill positions quickly and effectively. We use the best software tool in the recruiting industry to streamline the candidate search process, allowing you to find the right talent without wasting time. By partnering with us, you can minimize disruptions to your team dynamics, maintain productivity, and foster a more engaged workforce. Let us help you build the team you need to succeed. Visit us at www.nrlcandidates.com and let us allocate our resources to your open roles, lifting the hiring burden from your shoulders.

I do not want to be a 7 figure entrepreneur. (Not if I or the people I serve end up in Traumaville) Last week, I chatted with my husband about success because I feel behind on my exit plan. I don't know about you, but I don't want to hustle forever. Raise your hand if you feel this way. 🖐️ My dream life? Chasing chickens, riding horses, and endless grass. I was stressed about "scaling up" and chasing my 7-figure goal. Then I came to a realization: → I can get there FAST. BUT → My good name and integrity are worth more than any bank balance. AND → My good name and integrity will eventually bring 7 figures. Even if it takes longer. Because slowly is the fastest way. For me. This is not shading anyone who got there faster. Please teach me your ways. For me, I know that I have to be fully decided on something before executing. It does not have to be perfect, I totally believe in 'shipping it' I'm just about there. Success without values is hollow for me. To get to this point, I: Redefined success on my own terms Focused on serving people genuinely Embraced steady, paced growth Six figures suits me just fine for now. Why? Writing down big goals feels good. Telling others about my "hustle" feels good. But sleeping soundly at night knowing I'm serving people the right way and building my offers (coming soon) the right way? That's priceless. Here's what I want you to take from this: (whether you're an entrepreneur or career climber) It might take longer when you're not willing to cut corners, or compromise who you are. But I promise you - keeping your integrity intact is the best way to get exactly what you want. #aLITTLEadvice
