Malia Knight
Malia Knight is a retired registered nurse who has been on more than 20 medical mission trips to Guatemala with Refuge International and Madre y Niño. Since her first trip to Guatemala in 2009, she says, caring for the people of Guatemala has become her passion. “I saw their need was great and their gratitude even greater.”
Among her tasks have been working in pre-op, post-op, in the pharmacy, and as a team leader. Her husband, Randy, volunteers in projects to provide clean drinking water to the Maya. Together they helped open a school in the remote village of Rio Blanco in the department of Izabál. She hopes to continue to serve the people of Guatemala in a hands-on capacity and through Madre y Niño.
