HBI Team Peru


The HBI Team Peru campaign preparations are fully under way! Our team will be traveling in July this year and will be spending two-weeks in medical, dental and social outreach in a corridor of impoverished communities south of Lima and in the community of Alto Cayma in the District of Arequipa.

The purpose of the outreach campaign is twofold – (1) to provide support and collaboration to our in-country partner organizations who are delivering care and services to the marginalized of Peru everyday; and, (2) to create a lasting experience that can really re-shape our view of the world. HBI strongly believes in the power of "in-reach" and the goal of changing the way that we view the world as a vehicle for creating a ripple effect of change all around us.

In holding to the HBI philosophy of care - HBI ensures that all outreach projects have Peruvian physicians, nurses and dentists. HBI strongly believes that sustainability comes from empowering local initiatives and in helping to create opportunities for Peruvians to serve Peruvians.

Anyone interested in joining the team should check out the trip details on the HBI Website; or e-mail HBI directly at Info@HBInt.org
