Bilingual medical students have made important contributions to our work, serving as interpreters for our mission teams. Amid the challenges of this global health crisis, we give thanks for their continued passion to provide healing care.

While all but emergency surgeries have been delayed by the COVID-19 crisis, many of our medical partners in hospitals across Bolivia are still working on the front lines.

Solidarity Bridge donates millions of dollars worth of specialized equipment and supplies to Bolivia each year. To accomplish this, we need lots of help packing, boxing, and loading supplies for transport.

There is more to healing than simply providing an operation. During their internships with our partner organization, Puente de Solidaridad, two Bolivian social work students learned to offer true solidarity to patients and families in the face of complex medical challenges.

Everyone - medical teams and patients - are learning that simple things make a big difference here.
