We also endeavor to make the world a little smaller, by endorsing and encouraging cultural exchanges on our medical missions in which school children from the areas we visit communicate with their counterparts in the United States via videotape, letters, and email. Local physicians are always involved in the care of our patients. Medical education, training and information exchange are always an intimate part of our trips, and we plan to augment this with the latest techonological advances in telecommunication via live telemedicine hook-ups. We are a faith based Judeo-Christian organization. We encourage people of all faiths and backgrounds to help us in our cause.
All work is volunteer, there is no charge for our services and no one receives a salary.
Our efforts are only to help those who are unable to help themselves. There is no hidden agenda or precondition to our treatment. Since 1995, Small World Foundation has conducted 3-4 medical missions per year to Central and South America and the Middle East. In particular cases where sophisticated treatment was needed, SWF was instrumental in arranging for the transportation and medical treatment here in the United States . Due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Mitch, our relief efforts have concentrated in Honduras.
