Bryan operates a franchise in San Diego and the San Francisco Bay area. He has a law practice and specializes in estate planning. Bryan enjoys doing service and has been involved in the scouting program for many years.
Bryan’s passion for Mothers Without Borders came as he saw the changes in his children from their experiences in Zambia. In 2015 Bryan and Teresa enlisted their company nationwide to help with fundraising efforts for the children in Zambia. Bryan made his first trip to Zambia in 2015 and was able to understand how remarkable the people are and has made a commitment to work to help the organization there grow.

Teresa has a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from Brigham Young University and owns a real estate company in San Diego. She loves to help people find homes for their families.
Teresa’s passion for Mothers Without Borders began at a presentation Kathy made in San Diego where she shared the plight of orphan children in Zambia and the ravages of AIDS. Teresa decided to send her son on a team to Zambia. It changed his life for the better and her other three children went as well. Teresa became a team member in 2014 and experienced a life change for herself. She wanted to become more involved so she went as a team leader in 2015. She loves the children and staff at the Children’s Resource Center and is committed to building the center in Zambia.

Linda Williams first became interested in MWB after seeing the impact and change of heart that happened to her daughter who served as a volunteer. She wanted to experience this herself and joined MWB as a volunteer team member in 2016. The children of Africa captured her heart and she is committed to giving back to the Zambian people through this amazing organization.
