🇵🇪 HELP SEND FHU NURSING STUDENTS TO CUSCO, PERU — January 2–16, 2027
On January 2, 2027, a team of Freed-Hardeman University nursing students will travel to Cusco, Peru for a two-week medical mission through CerviCusco (cervicusco.org), led by Dr. Sarah Pierce. Over two weeks in the Andes, our team will:
• Provide patient care at remote mobile medical clinics in mountain villages
• Rotate through local hospitals, including a pediatric neurology hospital
• Serve at a family clinic and a women's health clinic
• Perform well-child checks at orphanages
• Care for residents at a senior living facility
• Run health screenings in remote villages and schools — vision, blood pressure, glucose, hemoglobin/anemia, cholesterol, and HIV
• Worship, hold VBS, and serve alongside a local congregation in Cusco
We need your help to get there — and to arrive with our hands full. Here is exactly where your donation goes:
