BHM’s mission is poised to alleviate hundreds of individuals’ deteriorated health in the community of Manzanillo and a life changing journey for the entire Health Mission team. BHM agenda’s focus is to improve the foundation’s healthcare system, expand the humanitarian project based upon previous solidarity work with our brothers and sisters, who urgently need medical attention as well as to forge a multidisciplinary-cross-cultural humanitarian movement involving the two peoples on the island and in the Diaspora. Please contact us at am2360@columbia.edu/bordermission@gmail.com to confirm your participation in this dual collaboration and expanded solidarity movement. 1^st BHM committee welcomes you to join FUNTOSALUD’s ultimate goal in becoming the pioneer humanitarian, locally-based foundation of the Haitian-Dominican border to implement a successful local to global mission stemming from a sustainable development model wrapped around a cross-cultural/ multi-disciplinary modus operandi.
