Read About our trip on MissionLive!

Each year since 1985, Providence Presbytery has sent small groups of travelers to Central America to visit the people and projects that we help through our annual Dimes for Hunger campaign. We have sent more than 200 different travelers--and over $500,000 in aid, to agencies which work with the poorest of the poor in Honduras and Guatemala.

Since 1991, our Central American Travelers have participated in medical clinics in both Honduras and Guatemala. Our doctors and nurses screen patients, treat for parasites and infections, prescribe vitamins and antacids, and when necessary, refer people to the hospital in the closest city for treatment. Most of the clients who visit the clinics -- often held in a church or community building (without the modern conveniences of our clinics here in SC) -- have not seen a doctor for years--if ever. Most walk for miles to see our medical staff. On some trips since 1996, we have also begun to provide simple medical training for local health promoters in rural communities who are otherwise without medical assistance.
