Recently, more than 100 men, women, and children received life-changing surgeries during our annual surgical trip to Comayagua. Patients made lengthy, sometimes 12-hour, trips from all over central Honduras to receive free medical care that they otherwise would not have been able to afford.

Recently, at our rural health clinic in Veracruz, a mother came in needing urgent care for her daughter. Struggling to breathe, the three-year-old was immediately examined by Tomasita, who volunteers as a community health worker (CHW) at the clinic.
