Joyce 's Message

Hello all you wonderful people out there!! Thank you for lending out your heart and showing interest in our initiative! Hopefully you are all having a Happy Holidays full of cheer and warmth haha, since I know it gets super cold out there.

Our First Mission: To Help
Like many medical missions, we aim to help out the individuals of this population with very needed health care. We bring medications and supplies that we either will collect or buy through these donations and try to pass them out the best we can.

With only a single health care professional, we will try to diagnose and give advice to as many Honduras as we can throughout our 7 day stay, but after our leave, hopefully they will be able to remember our visit.
__________________________________________

Our Second Mission: To Educate
We will hold a variety of educational workshops there in Honduras to help provide children as well as adults with the preventative tools they need to boost their health. These simple techniques, such as brushing their teeth, washing their hands, face, feet, and even just drinking enough water, are so second nature to us but are so incredibly foreign to them. Because of their living condition, they were never taught the concept of prevention and therefore their health falls because of just simple cavities or stomachaches.

These individuals deserve the care and education that we have here, and with your help we can bring this to them!
__________________________________________

Our Third Mission: To Empower
7 short days is all we can give to help this community, but with the right impact, it is more than enough to inspire their lives and help them empower those in their own communities.

Please empower us to empower them to empower their community members. Together we can change these amazing communities and help them thrive!
__________________________________________

Remember! curing a patient can save their life, but teaching a patient how to sustain their health can save generations of lives.

Please support our cause! Your help is very much appreciated! Every little penny helps tremendous amounts and every person in the world deserves the health care that we have here.

Also if you have any questions with regards to Global Brigades or our mission, please do not hesitate and feel free to contact me at any time at:

Volunteer Activity Description

City College of San Francisco is starting a Medical and Dental Brigade that is committed to fundraising for a brigade to Honduras in June 2014. Brigade volunteers will be assisting medical and dental professionals in providing treatment to local community members in under resourced communities of Honduras. This experience will not only benefit the Honduran community but will be the first steps of creating global change and equality.
