In response to Concern America\u2019s expansion in the last few years, we have both expanded the size of local program teams and, when necessary, hired new field volunteers. Our newest team member is Dr. Perla Pichardo, who serves on our new health program outside of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.<\/p>\n

We currently support nine field volunteers. It costs Concern less than $15,000 to fully support a field volunteer: a monthly stipend, health insurance, housing, and travel home each year. Each volunteer works with several midwives, health promoter practitioners, and other local leaders, as well as the local team members who continue to carry out most program activities. As a result, more than 300,000 people in Guatemala, Mexico, and Colombia have local and affordable services.<\/p>\n
