About Us
We began volunteering with CBM and their amazing work in Bolivia back in 2013 and came on officially as Global Field Staff in 2015. Over the years we’ve loved getting embed in CBM projects and growing strong relationships with our Bolivian partners.
We both grew up in Saskatchewan (Kallie in Regina and Tim in Yorkton) and first met while working at a summer camp. We have visited over thirty countries as a couple, backpacking much of the world. We're now happy to call Bolivia home.

Kallie studied theology and development during university where she majored in Global Ministries and undertook a four month internship in Bolivia during her last year. This experience allowed her to use her education to participate in several ministry and development programs, incur a conversational level of Spanish, and witness both the beauty and challenges of life in Bolivia.
Later, Kallie held two different jobs that each compliment the work she is doing in Bolivia. As a youth leader in a multicultural church located in the core of Montreal, she gained further experience in youth leadership and serving in a cross-cultural context. Her second position was with a face-to-face fundraising organization who perform contract work for NGOs such as Doctors Without Borders, UNICEF, and Plan. She also had the opportunity to do a six month internship with Oxfam. Through the posts she has held, Kallie was able to hone her administrative and managerial skills while becoming well acquainted with the non-profit world. She completed a postgraduate studies program in international development through the UBC and is currently pursuing a Masters in theology through Acadia Divinity College.

Tim has had a long allurement towards learning, though both books and any opportunity to get his hands dirty. Passionate about history, politics, theology, literature, and technology, he loves exploring innovative ways to help people access information and learn in dynamic ways. To this end, Tim completed a Masters of Library and Information Science from McGill University, which included a significant focus on non-profit organizational administration. He has also had the opportunity to work in several academic and public libraries. Recently he completed a postgraduate studies program in international development through the UBC and is currently pursuing doctoral studies at McMaster Divinity College. This is an exciting opportunity to integrate academic research with the hands on ministry experience he is engaged in daily.
