We are a non-profit organization established and dedicated to serving people in need. Circle of Hope currently houses two individual human-service programs: The Greater Boston Community Exchange and the International Medical Team.
Both programs rely solely on generous ongoing contributions of goods, services and monetary gifts. Circle of Hope programs are staffed by compassionate volunteers.
NEWS UPDATES
Medical Trip to HAITI
Our group of 15 volunteers returned from a week in September, 2011 to Haiti. We were again based in Leogane and travelled daily from there to the surrounding communities, running mobile medical clinics. Thanks to all of your generous support, we were able to hire a Haitian dentist to work with us for part of the week. He worked tirelessly, seeing 25 patients a day and relieved them of the pain they had been suffering from abscessed teeth. We also worked for several days with dentists from the George Stines Foundation, who donated their time, equipment and expertise.
Working WITH the Haitian professionals is a powerful experience. The future of health care in Haiti needs to be in Haitian hands and I very much look forward to partnering with those professionals, in our future visits, who have chosen to stay in their country and work with their people.
