A love for the scenic beauty of Alaska brought Robin from New Mexico where she met and married a New Zealander, Michael Pratt. She worked as a registered nurse from 1978-1992 while Michael established his own business as a General Contractor. In December 1991 Michael was ordained a pastor at Abbott Loop Community Church.
The Pratts, with their 4 children, responded to a childhood commitment of Michael's to become a missionary in Africa. They moved to Swaziland in February 1992 to work at Emkhuzweni Health Center, a rural health clinic in northern Swaziland. His love for people drew Michael to pastor in the Holiness Union Church of Swaziland where he gained an understanding of the needs and issues affecting the people there. Robin worked as a nutrition teacher to mothers of malnourished children.
The crying needs from poor housing, poor nutrition, poverty, and lack of access to schooling touched the Pratts hearts. As they attempted to alleviate the effects of poverty over the years, the Pratts discovered how serious the burgeoning HIV/AIDS crisis was impacting their attempts to establish community development projects. Now their focus is on how they can mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on their neighbors and friends, and how the can prevent its spread.
