In 2018, The Hanna Project organized five teams to provide help, hope, and healing for people across the world. Here is a brief summary of where the teams went and how they helped others:

 

• In May, a team of 14 went to the eastern jungles of Ecuador, along the Napo River. The team included both medical and construction personnel. The construction team partnered with Jungle Kids for Christ and built a covered walkway for Antioch Christian Academy. The medical team worked with the Center of Health in Misahuali, visiting numerous villages to provide well-child checks and treat minor ailments. The cost for each team member on this trip was $2,200.

 

• In August, a team of 15 went to Doropo, Ivory Coast. This team also consisted of medical and construction volunteers. The medical team worked alongside the Ivorian medical personnel at the hospital in Doropo that was founded by Dr. Miley. The team included a surgeon, several nurses, and nursing students. The construction team worked on the medical wing of the Miley Hospital. Volunteers scraped and painted windows and doorframes and worked on electrical and other general maintenance items. The cost for each team member who went to Ivory Coast was $3,200.

 

• At the end of September, a team of four went to Kazakhstan. THP joined strategic partner BMG to work with Hope Centers. The team installed styrofoam insulation on the outside walls of a Hope Center, dug ditches, and put in a new fence and taught English camps. The cost for each team member was $3,200.
