Matt and Kerry Blacklock (Founders of Community Transformation Foundation)

Matt and Kerry have worked with disenfranchised children, youth and families in Canada and Central America since 1996. They have seen the poor, hurting, abused and forgotten healed through care, family counselling and sports. They believe in the reconciliation of families and strive to see the healing of children and families in Canada and Guatemala. They love the outdoors, hiking, running, dance and all kinds of sports. They have 4 adult children: Abby, Hayley, Liam and Rubi who have walked with them in all the crazy adventures they have gone on. Their motto in life is: “To use what you are good at to help others and inspire others to use what they are good at to help others.”
