On a daily basis, Mano a Mano is partnering with Bolivian communities to build clinics and water wells; distribute supplies and equipment sent from Minnesota; provide training and education ranging from health to agriculture to physical therapy; and provide weekend health clinics, among other projects and programs. These are a couple of pictures from the past few weeks. Thank you to everyone that is a part of Mano a Mano - everything we do is a partnership!

We were sad to hear the news that Doug Ostergren passed away in late February. Our best wishes and condolences to his wife Phyllis and their family and friends. From his obituary in the The Minnesota Star Tribune (https://lnkd.in/giyUWejT): “A memorial service will be held on Friday, March 28, 2025 at 2:00pm at Unity Church-Unitarian, in St. Paul, MN and livestreamed at https://lnkd.in/gRpZM6Jm. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Unity Church-Unitarian, Mano a Mano or the Ostergren Family Fund at the YMCA of the North.”

Our counterpart organization Mano a Mano Bolivia has started construction on a new health clinic in Vilaque, Bolivia! Local residents were present to help unload the first truckload of materials that arrived last week. https://lnkd.in/gTw3g8uJ #health #bolivia #nonprofit #construction

We were happy to celebrate the completion and dedication of a new deep water well in Mamanaca Sunchal over the weekend! https://lnkd.in/gnDCSV5n #water #bolivia #travel

Watch a video of Mano a Mano's recent distribution of 10,000 pounds of supplies and equipment for 22+ healthcare organizations in the department of Beni, Bolivia: https://lnkd.in/gpbvrnA4 All of these supplies were shipped from Minnesota; the next shipment of 3 containers with 80,000+ pounds just started their journey to Bolivia late last month. Most of these items were destined for the landfill in Minnesota; instead they get put to good use in Bolivia, where they are often unavailable or cost-prohibitive. #bolivia #minnesota #nonprofit #reuse #travel

As 3 containers with 80,000+ pounds of supplies and equipment?left our Minnesota warehouse last week destined for Bolivia, earlier this week Mano a Mano staff and volunteers in Bolivia were busy distributing more than 10,000 pounds of supplies and equipment from a previous Mano a Mano shipment for 22 hospitals and health centers in the department of Beni in northern Bolivia. https://lnkd.in/gHqwCB_6 As we always mention with our Recovered Resources Program: most of these items were destined for the landfill in Minnesota; instead they get put to good use in Bolivia, where they are often unavailable or cost-prohibitive. #bolivia #minnesota #nonprofit #reuse #volunteer

Thank you to everyone that stopped by Mano a Mano yesterday for our gathering in memory of?our Co-Founder Joan Velásquez. We appreciated the flowers, memorials, and time together to share some happy memories and honor the impact Joan had for so many people over her lifetime. There will be a Celebration of Life for Joan on May 24th at Unity Church.

Mano a Mano’s 3 containers filled with 80,000+ pounds of supplies and equipment are now on their way to Cochabamba from our St. Paul warehouse! Most of these items were destined for the landfill in Minnesota; instead they get put to good use for people and organizations in Bolivia, where they are often unavailable or cost-prohibitive. https://lnkd.in/gfSaPMx2 #minnesota #bolivia #nonprofit #reuse #health
