Mission details

You can definitely tell from the picture quality that this mission took place in the early 2000’s. In 2004 Team NY travelled to Nepal where they had the chance to explore the culture, get to know the locals, and most importantly improve the healthcare quality of the community. The conditions of our patients were really intense. Many came to us with full body burns, large tumors, and broken bones. To be able to help these patients was amazing. They were so grateful to have their lives back. Below are some pictures that represent our time here. They may not be of the best quality, but the moments they captured is most important.
