Health Corps ProfessionalsOrphanage Outreach is an American non-profit organization that has been working in the northwest part of the Dominican Republic since 1994. Over 8000 international volunteers have joined us since 1994, with the majority of focus being on education. Originally focused solely on the local orphanages, thanks to volunteer growth the focus has expanded to include additional needs in the community. One area of true need is health education and treatment."I am the advisor for SOSH (Students in Optometric Service to Humanity) out of the University of Alabama Birmingham School of Optometry. For each of the past 8 years a group consisting of myself and about 20 students has traveled outside the US during our spring break to provide eye care and eye wear to people in need. Our trip to Monte Cristi in March 2004 exceeded all of our expectations. With regard to accommodations and logistics, this has become the trip against which all others are and will be measured. It is truly a turn-key mission operation. Fantastic job! We will be here again."

Individual VolunteersEach year many volunteers travel with us solo. You don't need to have a team to make a big difference!"This is one of the best experiences that anyone could do for not only themselves but others also. When you take your spring break to help out others, you yourself are blessed just as much as they are. I came away with a much greater respect of what I have and a heart for Missions."
