Esperança
From Esperança's Website
Since 1970, Esperança has been providing health and hope for the world’s poor through health and development projects and a volunteer surgical program in more than 14 countries around the world, including the United States.
Our mission is to improve health and provide hope for families in the poorest communities of the world through sustainable disease prevention, education
and treatment.
Currently, we have 5 different projects in Bolivia, Nicaragua, Mozambique, Mexico and our domestic project in Phoenix, AZ. Each project is unique to the needs of that community, and we partner with local trusted agencies and community leaders at each project site to ensure that programs are culturally appropriate and build capacity.
Esperança provides long-term solutions that promote sustainability and empowerment of the entire community!
Santiago Scavenger Hunt for Esperança !
"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well," Ralph Waldo Emerson.
We wanted to use our pilgrimage as a vehicle for charity as well as fun and adventure. After going through a lot of different options, a scavenger hunt came to the fore as a great way to include our friends in the fun of the trip while also raising money for Esperança.
