Dr. John Shinsky has dedicated his life to serving others in many different capacities. He is a graduate of Michigan State University, and was Co-Captain of the 1973 Michigan State Football team and an Academic All-American. He has served as an educator for over 40 years and is presently a Full Professor and the Associate Dean for Community Impact in the College of Education at Grand Valley State University, in Grand Rapids Michigan. As a former orphan, he has committed his life to serving the needs of abandoned, neglected, abused, and orphaned children. John and his wife Cindy are co-founders of Ciudad de los Niños, the City of Children Shinsky Orphanage in Matamoros Mexico. The orphanage has served approximately 180 children since 2009. John and Cindy continue to face the challenge of fully supporting the orphanage by raising over $350,000 a year, which covers all costs, and allows them to provide love, security, education, spirituality, and leadership for the children in the home.
