While working with one of our partners on the Adios Lombrices project, Refuge International volunteers were led to a hospital/clinic in a remote village near Mazatenango, in western Guatemala. Dr. Sergio Castillo has been working alone for the last 12 years in Chocola, serving the people living in the area. Refuge International has agreed to help supply medical equipment and will take medical, surgical and construction teams several times a year to help this amazing man do what he has been called to do.
Please fill out the proper paperwork for a medical mission. We are looking forward to working with you!
