Description:

Volunteers first join Friends of the Children of Haiti to offer their services, whether medical or non-medical, to people in dire need. What they don’t expect though is the drastic impact their experience in Haiti has on their own lives. Most say it is “life-changing.”

For the past 30 years, hundreds of people from all walks of life have volunteered as team members on FOTCOH medical missions in Haiti.

Organizational Base: Peoria, Illinois

Other Programs: Continuing education of nurses and EMTs, malnutrition program, well baby/maternal education program, general health education
