20 Years
of Solidarity and Healing
From the humble beginnings of our first mission trip in 1999 to the robust organization we have become today, we are proud to celebrate 20 years of solidarity and healing. Together with our partners at Puente de Solidaridad in Bolivia, we operate four year-round surgical programs and have provided more than 6,500 life-changing surgeries for patients in need.
In honor of our 20th Anniversary, we are taking a look back at how some of our programs started, and where they are today.
There are moments in life when stepping outside of our familiar rhythms offers more than just a change of scenery—it opens our hearts and minds in transformative ways. Entering a different cultural context is not only mind-expanding; it is heart-expanding. This was certainly true for me during a recent trip to Bolivia. I traveled with Solidarity Bridge founder and former Executive Director, Juan Lorenzo Hinojosa, and his wife, Sarah Hinojosa
