Physicians for Peace volunteers, Dr. Keith Goss and Dr. Justin Faul, on a surgery
mission in Eritrea in October. Without volunteers like these, Physicians for Peace
would not be able to carry out its mission of building peace and international friendships.
Every month during this 20th Anniversary year, Physicians for Peace has honored special individuals who have given their time and talent to help treat those with little or no access to medical care and provide specialized training to countless medical professionals. This month, as the year comes to an end, and we reflect on the work we have done, it becomes clear that our "20 Years of Heroes" campaign would not be complete without honoring every single person who has contributed to Physicians for Peace as a volunteer.
At Physicians for Peace, all of our work in the field, touching people's lives and improving their chances for a better future, is done by volunteers. Every day, in faraway corners of the world, they continue to follow the example set by our founder, Dr. Charles Horton, of compassion and self-sacrifice. We could not accomplish our mission without them.
This year, 202 volunteers went on 49 missions in 20 countries, helping thousands of people in need. Our volunteers are truly heroes!
On behalf of the Physicians for Peace staff, THANK YOU for a great year, and have a healthy and happy Holiday Season!
