Absolutely essential to a successful mission is close
collaboration and coordination with local volunteers and once again we’re lucky
to be working with a motivated and capable team of people from Tamanique. The volunteer team assists us with
myriad tasks during the mission and without them it would be impossible for us
to provide the care we do in the rural areas we like to serve. They identify needy patients for the
mission, coordinate their transport to and from the mission site, they register
patients, help them navigate the various stages of the mission, interpret for
our volunteers and help with many, many additional tasks.
Their dedication and devotion to helping the poorest members
of their community is inspiring and we’re proud to work side-by-side with them
to create a healthier and happier future for Tamanique.
