Our Vision

Our highest ambition is to do more than help

With programs designed to facilitate the artistic expression of underserved kids and youth, while also providing medical education and training to the communities we work with, we aim to take on projects both domestic and international.

Spanning communities close to home and abroad, we hope to impact many with just a few. Our vision is a world where kids have a constructive, creative outlet and potential career and their communities have access to the medical care they deserve.

Our Organizational Mission

Diverse yet related...
And always valuable

Medical Education and Supply Donations

We provide structured didactic education and hands-on training to those who find it meaningful and impactful to their lives, including community members and local professionals, along with the supplies to get them started towards success

Telehealth Systems and Access to Care

Our model incorporates furthering not only the provision of medical care at the local level, but includes providing telehealth system setup when appropriate

Photography Education and Camera Donations

We love to get the local youth involved; imparting ways of healthy self expression through a creative outlet while giving them a potential skill set for a future career
