Projects

Diabetes Testing & Treatment

Diabetes Type II is a major problem afflicting the people all over the World especially in the Caribbean.  There is a real need for testing, education and treatment to prevent compounding health problems. We will be expanding to new locations in the Caribbean in 2025. Sign up for Spring project is Jan 1st. Project dates are March 29-April 5th. Limited spots for volunteers. We will be serving Roatan, Honduras. Please click on the Get Involved page if you are interested in volunteering. 

Dental Exams & Education

Many people of Dominican Republic & Haiti need medical and dental care. Poor dental hygiene can lead to other health issues. Through care and education we strive to improve the people's quality of life.  Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering. 

Special Projects & Education

Upon request. If a community has a special need or a project has been requested we try to accommodate.

November 2019 part of our team helped work on a Community Center. April 2022 we painted a preschool in Esperanza Community.

Diabetes Project

We had very successful trip! We screened 392 patients in 4 days and 7 clinics. 200 patients received glucose monitors and education. We also expanded our education to grade schools. We educated on good dental hygiene and food choices to 168 students. As well as a local news channel 11 featured Hispaniola Cares for our fight against diabetes. 

Thank you to our volunteers and everyone that worked hard to make this trip so successful.
