Our philosophy is that access to basic human necessities including clean water, food, shelter, clothing, and medical care should not be complicated or difficult! There are enough resources to go around, and we plan to start by helping one person, one family, one community at a time. As the ripples grow from the drops of one good deed at a a time, we believe we can change the world for the better!
We have largely medical and construction backgrounds as a group. On our first international mission trip, we built a home for a family, visited the maternity & pediatric hospital, and ran a free medical clinic for several remote villages. The family who received the home we built had been living with other family members–nine people in an approximately 15′ x 15′ shelter.
Visiting the hospital in Tegucigalpa, Honudras was truly heart-breaking. The poorest in America can still go to a hospital and get standardized, clean, quality healthcare. These mothers and children were in pitiful conditions without privacy, care, or even air-conditioning in the heat of a central-America summer.
The medical clinic we hosted in El Tizate, Honduras, served three small villages. People were waiting in line before daybreak with their children and families. Patients waited for HOURS just for multivitamins as illness and death related to malnutrition are a tremendous threat to their children.
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
