VolunteersWe bring volunteers from the United States. Our team of volunteers is typically about 10 medical professionals and non-medical people who help with logistics, crowd control, record keeping, prayer counseling and pharmacy. We join teams of Nigerian volunteers in each of our clinic locations (usually about 50 volunteers each week).
During the free medical outreaches it is a beehive of activity, with many volunteers from the Diocese, Nigerian Youth Service Corps, as well as volunteers from the United States
