About
Join us on the court to support the children of NPH.
We would be delighted to have you join us for a fun event to support the more than 9,000 children and families we serve across Latin America and the Caribbean. Your support can help children reach their full potential, become compassionate leaders in their communities, and break the cycle of intergenerational poverty—creating brighter futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Hello friends and fellow pickleballers! Due to the rain in the forecast on Friday morning, we are switching gears and instead hosting a brunch at the Clancy home from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Friday, May 9th.
Thanks so much and we look forward to visiting with you.

Guest Speaker: Ricardo Echavarría, Hermano Mayor (“Older Brother”), NPH Dominican Republic
My name is Ricardo Echavarría, and I’m 31 years old. I’m studying Bioanalysis, I have four siblings, and family has always been a central part of my life. I’m proud to be an older brother from NPH in the Dominican Republic, that has greatly shaped who I am today.
In 2018, I came to live in the Pacific Northwest for the NPH’s Seattle Institute leadership program. This experience lasted nearly a year and had a profound impact on my personal and professional development. It allowed me to grow as a leader, improve my English, and build meaningful relationships with people from diverse backgrounds.
Currently, I work for MSC Cruises, a global cruise line company. I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to travel, meet new people, and work in a dynamic environment. At the moment, I’m waiting for my next contract with MSC Cruises, and I’m looking forward to continuing my journey with them while also staying focused on my academic goals.
Free to participate. Registration required by May 6.
