Our Host - Pastor Matias Bonilla	Typical Village Setting
One Clinic Site	Triage Station

Using local translators who speak Spanish, part of the team will register patients and record simple patient histories on patient routing slips for later diagnosis by a team medical staff member.  Other members of the team will either work with local translators in triage where blood pressure, pulse, glucose test results and other vital signs will be recorded along with further patient history; in the exam rooms with local translators where the MDs will make their diagnosis and record the recommended medical prophylaxis for the patient.; testing vision for reading glasses, or in the pharmacy where the prescribed medicines will be prepared and packaged along with instructions to the patients for when and how to take their prescriptions.

 Care Providers Needed: MDs, PAs, NPs, RNs, Pharmacists, and other health care related personnel. In addition medical students and non-medical personnel with a heart for the people of El Salvador are needed as support members of the team.

Logistics:Our team will fly together from LAX to San Salvador where our hosts will pick us up. Our team is limited to about15 people, all of who will stay in a dormitory setting at a guarded compound in San Salvador called Casa Concordia: The facility is part of the Luthern synod there.  The clinics will be held at at various sites in villages outside of San Salvador. Our host will provide transportation for the team from Casa Concordia to the sites each day. Meals will be provided along with safe drinking water.

Most of the people people we will be treating are refugees who fled their land to avoid death during the civil war 10 years ago. They are rebuilding their lives and their land.  Their faith is amazing, they were recently hit with flooding that took out their crops and soil.  They were a self supporting people living off the land and selling corn and beans. They are re-planting currently.  They are generous with their lives, their love and are so grateful to be touched, heard and cared for.

All participants are encouraged to solicit support from friends, family members, and congregations. This is an ideal way for those who have a heart for your ministry to participate along with prayer. All fees paid directly though HHH for the project are tax deductible. We will provide information that will facilitate raising funds.
