AMOS: Health and Hope

Saturday, November 3

               Reservations Requested

For more information, please read this informational document.

The dream for AMOS began in 1967 with the work of Dr. Gustavo Parajón. Faced with overwhelming need in the poorest rural communities of Nicaragua, Dr. Parajón frequently remarked:

“In Nicaragua, a doctor shouldn’t just be a doctor; a doctor must also be a teacher.”

This vision for empowerment gave birth to a broad health care initiative that continues to focus on local leadership development. The heart of Dr. Parajón’s work focused on the communities themselves, teaching local people to provide basic primary health care services, thereby dramatically reducing unnecessary illness and death. This focus on strengthening communities through education and preventive care lives on in AMOS today under the direction of Drs. David & Laura Parajón with the many AMOS workers in Managua and the rural communities, and with volunteers from all over the world.

Come and meet the directors of AMOS, Drs. David and Laura Parajón and learn about the excellent work they are doing with local leaders in rural Nicaragua communities.
