Dave & Edie Boschen
We have been married over 25 years with three children, the youngest will be a senior this next year. My wife works for Assist International, a humanitarian organization founded by former pastors in Santa Cruz, California, serving orphaned children and providing medical relief around the world. I have been licensed as a Marriage Family Child therapist since 1989. I have become the executive director of Hand in Hand Foundation where our mission is to rescue our own abandoned children from our social service system into recruited Christian families for permanence in life and for eternity. In 1999, My wife and I were invited to go to Romania to work with an orphanage named Caminul Felix, which translated means Happy Home. Our life course has been changed ever since by what God is doing through our obedience to him. It is a family blessing as all of our children have participated in numerous trips along side us and on thier own with other mission projects. Our other travels came with the tsunami of 2004 to Sri Lanka where we came alongside Asiana Educational Development through the efforts and donated resources of Assist International. Once again we found an organization that has been committed to changing the lives of marginalized children.
