Healthcare in El Salvador

One of the newest projects we're supporting is a fundraising project to benefit the people of Zaragoza, El Salvador. Noah Harper is the project leader, and his purpose is to help provide assistance to the public healthcare clinic in the village of Zaragoza.

This is the only public healthcare facility in the city, and serves a population of approximately 35,000 people. The supplies on hand are extremely minimal: one blood pressure cuff, 1 pair of crutches, no wheelchair, etc.

A $4 Smile

One of our projects, The North East India Project, has recently partnered with Smile Train; a non profit helping children with cleft palates. NEIP has recently sent two children in India, Alum and Tsuti, to a Smile Train doctor who has performed the first part of their cleft palate surgery; closing up the palate. Their second and final surgery, fixing their upper lip, will most likely be in 4-6 weeks, and will provide them with a new smile. The Smile Train doctor is located in Shillong, Meghalaya, which is over 300 miles from the children's village. Word is beginning to spread around the state of Nagaland, and we anticipate getting more requests to help from other areas very soon...

THIS PROJECT NEEDS YOUR HELP ~

We want to raise $1,000.00 by the end of March to help pay for the travel expenses and surgeries for two children. Our goal is to find 250 supporters who will donate $4.00 each. I'm sure if we all looked at our weekly spending habits, we could find $4.00 to spare. My family did!

If you know of others who would like to help out, please pass this on. The more we are able to raise, the more children we can help.
