Education & Outreach

We Aim To Teach

Through our missionary work, we aim to reach out and educate the individuals we serve. In addition to administering heath care, we provide seminars on public health and disease management. We aim to teach and to assist in basic life skills in order to improve quality of life. Based on the needs of the locals, we may offer courses on health topics and other relevant subjects. All educational services are tailored to both school-aged children and adults. Handouts that are provided during educational trips are provided below. Feel free to download the PDFs.
