An Evening Together for Guatemala: The 2026 Esperanza Gala

On November 7, friends and supporters of International Esperanza Project® gathered at the Arts District Mansion in Dallas for our 2026 Esperanza Gala, A Night in Paris. It was an opportunity to connect, recognize the people who stand beside our mission, and support the work that brings us together.

We extend a heartfelt thank-you to our Gala Chairs, Louise Daubois and Harolde Savoy, for the time, care, and dedication they poured into bringing the evening to life. To our sponsors, donors, guests, and volunteers, thank you for sharing your generosity and your belief in what we can accomplish together.

Honoring Karin Larrave

A meaningful moment of the evening was presenting the 2026 Wings of Hope Award to Karin Larrave. This recognition honors those whose dedication, generosity, and belief in our mission help hope take flight.

Through years of support and visits to Guatemala, Karin has given her time and heart to the communities we serve. We were honored to celebrate her kindness, commitment, and love for Guatemala alongside our IEP family.

Carrying Our Mission Forward

Behind every reason we gather are the people at the heart of our work: families installing smoke-free stoves and water filters, patients receiving medical and surgical care, and students building skills and discovering new possibilities.

Through Impacting Homes, Impacting Health, and Impacting Education, International Esperanza Project® supports these connected opportunities for families in Guatemala.

The Gala has ended, but the work continues. We are still raising the funds needed to sustain our programs, and we invite you to help carry this mission forward. Whether you joined us in Dallas or supported us from afar, your contribution matters.
