Team NL – Duquesa, DR, Jan ‘26

We’re excited to announce Team NL will be embarking on our very first mission to the Dominican Republic this coming January!

In partnership with Community Empowerment and RUSH University, our dedicated volunteers from Newfoundland will be providing essential primary care to families living near the Duquesa landfill – one of the largest in the world.

This community is home to many Haitian migrants, families who face incredibly challenging living conditions, and have limited access to healthcare. Our team will work directly with residents to deliver medical support, compassion, and hope to a community that has long been overlooked.

Our mission is grounded in equity, empathy, and the belief that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare – no matter where they live. We invite you to support Team NL’s efforts as we bring care and connection to those who need it most!
