Conflicts are like diseases—they destroy relationships and communities. Understanding and attending to conflicts are second-nature to healthcare workers. Doctors, nurses, and other health workers aim to restore balance of the body and the community. Thus the HELP for Peace.
For more than a decade, HELP for Peace has served conflict-affected, marginalized communities. Its mission is guided by just peace principles as it ensures survival of persons and communities affected by conflict and disasters. With the Barefoot Doctors as Its flagship program villagers are empowered to care and heal in the hearth of their community.

[Attempts at] Redeeming Paradise: Notes of a Haiyan Relief Volunteer
by Carla Peruelo, RN
The Medical Mission team working in the Municipality of Madredijos in Bantayan Island.
DECEMBER 9, 2013
The first time I wrote about Haiyan (local name Yolanda), I was writing as an observer, a Filipino who has seen the damage of Haiyan only through pictures and video clips shown on TV or in the internet. Now I write as an involved person. During the last week of November, I was given the opportunity to join in a Relief Operation/Medical Mission for the victims of Haiyan in Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines.
The team for the mission consisted of 3 doctors, 3 nurses, 5 nuns, and a support staff all aiming to bring relief supplies and medical aid (and hope!) to Haiyan-hit areas in the island of Bantayan. This is a chronicle of what I have seen in the areas we visited, of my experiences as a first-time volunteer in a relief ops/medical mission, and of the entire spectrum of emotions I felt in my participation in this mission.
