Join Us in Making a Difference:
Hands With Heart Foundation Mission in Costa Rica
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to be part of a life-changing experience from November 11-20, as the Hands With Heart Foundation embarks on a mission to deliver free healthcare to underprivileged children with disabilities in the remote indigenous communities of the Talamanca jungle, Costa Rica.
These children, often living in isolated areas, have little to no access to the healthcare they so desperately need. As optometrists, our skills can profoundly impact their lives, restoring not just sight but hope for a brighter future.
During this mission, we will be treating children with severe disabilities, many of whom have never been able to access professional eye care. This is an opportunity for you to give back to those who need it most, using your expertise to support their development and well-being.
At Hands With Heart Foundation, you will also have the unique opportunity to work as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with osteopaths, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals from different countries. Together, we can create a holistic approach to improving the health and quality of life for these children, ensuring they receive the care they deserve in all aspects of their health.
By joining this mission, you will:
- Provide essential care to children who may have visual impairments affecting their learning and quality of life.
- Work alongside local professionals and international volunteers, sharing techniques and knowledge in a rich, multicultural setting.
- Contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals and help us build a more equitable world, one child at a time.
The Hands With Heart Foundation, which has been recognized by the United Nations for its healthcare work, has deep connections with local communities and a history of impactful missions. We’re not only reaching out to the underserved but creating lasting change through capacity building and the transfer of knowledge.
Together, we can ensure that every child, no matter how far they live from modern healthcare facilities, has the chance to thrive. Your participation will not only touch the lives of these children and their families but also leave a lasting imprint on your heart.
This is more than a mission. it’s a movement to bring hope, compassion, and care to where it’s needed most.
Will you join us?
