Amigos de San Carlos, Honduras Medical Mission

Amigos de San Carlos, Honduras Medical Mission We are a group from Tacoma, Washington, who travel to Honduras to provide medical and other services.

The Honduras Mission Team makes a yearly trip at the end of January. It is open to anyone who wants to join (whether you physically go on mission or not): made up of lay people, engineers, nurses, physicians, physical therapists, optometrists, dentists, pharmacists, and lab techs. The engineer section predominantly works on potable water solutions while the medical mission provides basic medical and dental care to the nearly 1600 people we see at the same five villages each year. We also provide school supplies and uniforms, dental hygiene supplies, and 50 maternity bags. When possible we provide clothes, shoes, blankets, towels, and horse equipment to the people we serve. We work year round collecting school supplies, gently used clothing and shoes, toothpaste and toothbrushes, blankets, diapers, and items for the maternity bags. Fundraising is necessary to purchase the $6000 to $9000
of medications needed to serve the people. We meet the Third Tuesday of every month at 7PM in the convent. If you wish to join us working on the home front or go on Mission we extend a warm welcome.

This is all based on stats from last January’s brigade. Thank you Henry, MaryAnn, Jasmine, Jaime, Sylvia, Deanna, Grace, Audrie. I pray I did mot leave any names out🙃

Why isn't this making top headlines? !! 70 missing children found!!!?? I am glad this task force is doing what local officials seem to be unable to do.

The Trump administration's Memphis, Tennessee, crime operation has resulted in 1,309 arrests since August, including gang members and recovery of dozens of missing children.

This week has been dedicated to making Hackamores for the people of Mata De Platano. 12 done and many to go. These are derived from parts of bridles and pieces of horse tack donated to me. It takes at least 45-60 minutes to put one together. Progress.🙂and thanks be to God.✝️

The final result- toe up device added to an ankle brace- success!

05/28/2025

This woman was born with symptoms of having had a stroke in utero. We placed an ankle brace with a strap to pull her foot into eversion (forefoot pulled outward) and high top tennis shoes. This was the result. The next video will demonstrate the effects of the final addition which was a “toe up device” that lifts the forefoot up.

i am in awe of Mother Nature and how she works. Here it is about 28 degrees F (-2 C ) and a heavy frost on the grass. The ponies are warm and cozy with their long guard hairs standing on end creating at leadt an inch deep ‘blanket’. And when it snows the warmth creates an icy crust on the top of the guard hairs which then insulates their body. Reach under the crust & they are dry and warm under the crust. Marvelous!
