My husband and I recently returned from a mission trip to Thailand with more than a dozen other volunteers from multiple organizations. We joined the Whitworth Swim Team, current members and alumni, and coaches (we’re alumni), Paladin Rescue Alliance, A21, and Krupayu Swim for this trip; and altogether we were called the Kilo Team.
