Sakya Care Foundation is excited to announce our Fifth Parahita* International Humanitarian Project to India from March 25 to April 1, 2023

*Parahita is the Sanskrit term meaning ‘action for the benefit of others.’

Our First Parahita Mission Trip to Bodh Gaya, India, in 2015.  Our Second Overseas Mission to Binh Dinh, Ban Me Thuot, and Daklak, Vietnam, in 2016.  And our Third Overseas Mission to the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam in 2018 was of great success.  Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we must cancel our fourth mission to Vietnam and Cambodia.

For these missions, our participating volunteers/members – physicians, dentists, optometrists, pharmacists, nurses, etc. provided compassionate medical, dental, and vision care to thousands and thousands of impoverished people.  Besides free medical care, each patient who came to the clinic – adults and children alike – also received a little gift of necessities like rice, oil, noodles, clothing, a backpack, and money.  (See pictures of our previous clinics below.)

We would love to invite you to join us for this upcoming Parahita Medical Mission to Bodhgaya, India
