My experience with CURE started on a volunteer trip to their newest hospital in Honduras. I continue to be so impressed by what started just over 10 years ago as a vision has turned into a tremendous far reaching global operation: an operation helping children who desperately need someone on their side. Not only does CURE reach out to these children to show them someone cares, but they also integrate into the process the teaching's of Christ, and that God is also there for them.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I participated in a volunteer trip to Honduras to spend time with children and their families at the hospital while also visting local schools and orphanages.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would recommend making changes (or adding) week long trips to CURE hospitals that are very focused on helping participants to become interested in becoming Lifelong donors to the CURE mission. These trips would involve seeing surgeries occur, following up with former patients to see how the surgeries have positively impacted their lives, and eventually finish with excursions local to the hospital to help participants understand the culture and challenges of the environments CURE particpates in.
MY ROLE:
Donor & I recently organized and helped fund a day trip for local residents of the United Methodist Home for Children to HersheyPark.
