Thank you for your ongoing support of the work that we do in Santiago! Although the direct effects of the pandemic have passed, the impacts to the education of children and socioeconomic repercussions in Santiago continue. We returned in July 2023 and are excited to share updates from our work and some of the pictures that we took on this trip.
In July, our team of volunteers returned to Santigo as part of our bi-annual health screening. We saw 541 children in 4 schools and provided measurement of height and weight, checking hemoglobin for anemia and providing the children with deworming medication. This work helps to supplement the weekly health education provided by our team of health educators.
Fundraising in 2023 has been challenging to say the least. We are committed to continuing the work that we began in the community of Santiago and hope that you will support our work this year. With your support of this program, we support health educators, supply a daily multivitamin, twice yearly antiparasite medication and the supplies to do health screenings for over 500 school children in Santiago.
Please consider making a donation this Giving Tuesday or any time now until the end of 2023. All donations directly support the work that we do in Santiago.
