Barco’s Nightingales Foundation has been involved with some amazing partnerships in 2014. One of these charitable partners is the Hispaniola Mountain Ministries. From building solar water wells to arranging and staffing medical and dental missions, Hispaniola Mountain Ministries (HMM) strives to improve the lives of Haitians living in the most remote areas of the island. And, while we mourn the loss of Tim Dortch, HMM’s founder, this past year, Frida and I feel blessed to be partnered with such an impressive organization.
We are proud to support the work of Hispaniola Mountain Ministries and nurses like Kyle.
I have personally visited our well projects and witnessed the building programs and medical missions. There is so much need and the people I encountered were so very grateful for the smallest of assistance.  The medical and dental missions not only provide much needed care to the villagers, but also provide rewarding experiences to those who volunteer and participate.
Kyle, from Jackson, Mississippi, related her experience as a dental assistant on a recent trip:
“When a friend called and asked if I could fill an empty spot for a medical mission trip to Haiti, I knew that God was opening a door. As a dental assistant, I knew I could be a lot of help to the dentists on the team. I left for Haiti thinking we were just another short-term team that would do work and then leave. I learned very quickly that all of my previous thoughts in no way reflected the ideas and goals of Hispaniola Mountain Ministries.”

Kyle’s complete story can be found on their website, along with the experiences of many more who have volunteered their time and expertise to facilitate change in Haiti.
We are proud to continue our partnership with Hispaniola Mountain Ministries and look forward to much progress in the future.
