He came to provide medical care in the Dominican Republic. But it was a simple act of kindness that left a lasting impression.
During one of the clinic days, Matthew, a Family Nurse Practitioner student at Emory School of Nursing , experienced a moment he won’t soon forget.
Members of the community offered the team fresh coconuts to drink. A simple gesture, but one filled with so much kindness and generosity.

At Foundation for Peace, we believe meaningful partnerships go both ways. We come ready to serve, but we also come ready to listen, learn, and receive.
And often, it’s the moments of connection that stay with us long after the trip ends. 🤝
