We see this dream becoming a reality more and more each month as we not only receive more teams, but we take on more volunteers and interns all coming to lend a helping hand. Jo...

City Hope/City Life

March is here, friends! Is your year flying by as fast as ours? Our first medical team of the season was one of the most stellar, star-packed crews we’ve ever had the pleasure of serving with. The coolest part? It was two church groups who had never even met before, yet melded perfectly from the first second like long-lost friends. Our staff couldn’t even pick out who came ...

January Water Project

Well, friends, it’s hard to believe it’s already 2017! We had such a wonderful and restful “down season”-- those quieter months of the year where teams don’t come and the rain seems to pour every day. We worked our way through project lists, saw patients, and welcomed a new team member: Alex was a J-Team summer intern in 2014, and after graduating from Boston University,...
