PHYSICIAN CEO's FOR JOSEPHINE HOUSE
San Jerónimo, Cusco, Peru
The Josephine House (Casa Josefina) is an orphanage for abandoned or abused children located high in the Andes Mountains of Cusco, Peru. Many of these children come from very difficult circumstances, and some have special needs and medical problems. The staff lovingly cares for these children until they can place them in adoption with stable, nurturing families. Josephine House is also, the only home in the area that accepts abandoned newborn children, who require require us to staff more caregivers, but also to purchase expensive formula and diapers. Importantly though, Josephine House places more children than any other home in the region, and actively works within the legal system to get them adopted. Please consider joining with us to give these children, and many future children, the opportunity to be loved, cared for, and placed in a loving family. If you have any questions, please contact me at nathanmhenson@gmail.com. We would be grateful for any help that you can provide, and we look forward to working together to give these children a hope and a future.
REFRACTIVE SURGERY CAMPAIGN
San Jerónimo, Cusco, Peru
We are launching a refractive surgery program at La Fuente Eye Clinic with several goals. The first is to improve vision and improve the lives of our patients. Taking away the need for glasses improves job opportunities and can change the trajectory of someone’s future. The second goal of our program is to subsidize and sustain our other outreach projects in our community. We direct and manage an orphanage, ‘Casa Josefina’ and the clinic proceeds sustain this work. We also have programs for patients, physical therapy and dentistry. All of these programs need resources, and are aimed at Cusco’s most vulnerable and needy populations. We take care of the abandoned elderly (Tauna program), orphans from various homes, young mothers who have been abused (Casa Mantay), and we have a prison medical outreach program.
