Message from the Executive Director

Dear Brigade Supporter,

It amazes me how year after year the Brigade's dedicated volunteers, stateside and in Honduras, work together to bring high impact services and interventions to some of the most needy people in the world.

I stand in awe of our team for the personal sacrifice they make being away from family, friends and work for 8 to 11 days, for their exceptionally high quality work, and for the critical services the provided to thousands of underserved Honduran citizens in Comayagua and poverty-stricken, outlying rural villages. Our 9th annual medical mission trip, in November of 2008, was the largest, most productive and most diverse Brigade ever. click to read more »
