El Salvador:
In the fall of 2010, a community-needs-assessment test was carried out in the Alta Mira Flores community by our onsite coordinator Edwin Pineda. Together in Hope became aware that 95% of the population in this community have never seen a doctor. Doctors and dentists are areas of speciality that are very exclusive in El Salvador, meaning that the people living in the impoverished communities where Together in Hope works do not have access to basic health care services.Together in Hope will bring a medical team to El Salvador in January 2012 to work with six of the most marginal communities located in the San Jacinto area.The projected number of patients that this team will serve is 400-500 patients during a five day clinic.We will also run basic dental care classes, and classes such as basic hygiene as well as offering adult education classes on these topics. Together in Hope also wishes to conduct basic first aid classes for the teachers at the La Rosa Blanca School and the parents of the community. If you would like to volunteer please do not hesitate to contact us.
