JOIN A TEAM

INSPIRING HOPE STARTS WITH YOU.

Every year, dedicated home and health care teams travel to serve communities in need - and you could be one of them.  All it takes is compassion, a willing heart, and the drive to give your time and energy to create an impact in someone else’s life.

We operate three specialized teams, each dedicated to transforming lives:

• Homes Teams: Bringing health and safety to impoverished families in the Chimaltenango region, these teams install smoke-free stoves and water filters, improving air quality and access to clean water.

• Clinical Teams: Comprised of internists, pediatricians, dermatologists, pulmonologists, psychologists, dentists, nurses, physical therapists, and pharmacists, these teams establish one-week clinics, delivering essential medical care to those in need.

• Surgical Teams: Featuring highly skilled surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and surgical technicians, these teams provide world-class, specialized procedures—completely free of charge—to patients who otherwise would not have access to life-changing surgeries.

Take that first step, get on the bus and JOIN a team.  Be the hope someone is waiting for!
