Hospitals Of Hope

Year-round - Bolivia

Our hospital in Bolivia is currently the primary site where we send volunteers, both medical and non-medical.  Over its 10-year history, Hospitals of Hope has sent over 1700 volunteers to Bolivia, who assist the Bolivian staff in caring for patients, as well as doing construction and community outreach.

Volunteers in Bolivia stay in our guesthouse, located just behind our hospital.  We can accommodate groups or individuals, and we take volunteers year-round. Trip cost will depend on the length of your stay.

Summer 2010- First Responder Training in Bolivia

During the summer of 2010, we will again be working with Heart to Heart International to implement First Responder training for the Bolivian National Police.  In the Department of Cochabamba there were over 3003 accidents, resulting in 100 fatalities, during 2008.  Bolivian National Police are the first public servants to arrive at accident scenes.  Because of this, it is crucial that the police be properly trained to deal with the situations they encounter.

This First Responder training has the potential to save the lives of hundreds of accident victims who would otherwise not receive appropriate care until it was too late.

August 9 - 16, 2010 - Haiti

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with over half of its people living in abject poverty.  Hospitals of Hope began work in Haiti in 2004, with our "Clinic in a Can"-- a mobile medical/dental clinic.

In August, we will be sending a team to Haiti for 8-10 days, beginning on August 9. We will work with Global Vision Citadelle Ministries to the north of Port-au-Prince, sending volunteers to do health clinics and work in orphanages. The core of the group will come from a church in Wichita, KS but will also include medical professionals from around the country. The team is currently full, but we are forming a wait list.
