Canillá, Guatemala.

I'm writing this with one hand, because my sweet new son, Isaac, is occupying my other arm...

Welcome to our blog!  We are a Christian family who believe that God is love and that He is really interested in those who are most in need.

For that same reason, some time ago now, we asked ourselves the following question: 'Why don't we use medicine to reach the most disadvantaged people?'. Those without opportunities, who live without hope. People who haven't got enough food to eat, who can't afford to buy paracetamol, never mind the antibiotics to save the life of their child suffering from pneumonia. People who are discriminated for being indigenous... Why can't we simply help our neighbours?

Yes, that's how our dream started out - our passionate hope that everyone should be seen equally, of the same value.  After all, we are all made by - and are children of - the same God.

So you see, that's how our road to Guate began.  The road towards a region in the highlands, more precisely in the department of Quiche, in a little town called Canillá.  Its in that very place where we will be living from January 2015 and working with an awesome group of people, in a hospital where we'll be able to help many people, whilst at the same time transmitting God's love, through Jesus.

Hugs, Luis.
