Nate Harris, our Program and Marketing Director extraordinaire, put together this great short video explaining a little about what we do at Tia.  Katie Smith, our pioneer VEA (Volunteer Expedition Adventurer) opens the video by showing us how to keep time doing CPR, or in Spanish, RCP.  The young men of Brophy College Preparatory and some of our favorite people from Universidad del Valle de Mexico are featured too.  We hope you will enjoy it and share it with your friends!

Tia is Headed to Atengo, Jalisco

Tia and the UVM brigade will be starting a new project in the last week of March in Atengo, so Laura is headed down in a couple of weeks to do the advance work with Dr. Roberto.  Atengo is both a small town and a municipality west of Guadalajara. The word Atengo is a Nahuatl (Nahuatl people are also referred to as Aztecs) word meaning: “at the edge of the water”.  This region is inhabited by the Nahuatl and before that, the ancient Toltec people.  The Nahuatl saw the Toltecs as their cultural and intellectual ancestors.

Happy New Year and Thank You!

Tia would like to thank our donors of every size for enabling us to bring lifelong healthcare in 2016 to enough villagers to fill Arizona Coyotes Gila River Arena TWICE!  Imagine for a moment what it would mean if you slipped in the kitchen, broke your ankle and had no one you could go see about it.  Because of you, there is someone there for those who live far from the nearest doctor.  Tia would like to convey to you our most sincere gratitude for believing in our cause and supporting the projects that bring a hand up to over 157,000 people in need. Have a happy and healthy 2017!
