Its January, the beginning of a New Year, and many people are working hard to keep their resolutions.  In general, it seems like most resolutions are difficult to keep. Statistics say that 45% of people make New Year’s resolutions but only 8% of people are actually successful in keeping them.  If you have made a resolution, I apologize for the bad news. But don’t worry; there is still hope, because CURE is here to help.

While we can’t help you lose weight, fall in love, or manage your money, we can help you if you made a resolution to help others! As you may have realized, the hardest part of keeping a resolution to help others can be knowing where to start. There are so many good causes to choose from that it can be overwhelming knowing where you can best use your skills. If you have a desire to meet the needs of disabled children in the developing world, you have come to the right place!

We have a need for all types of volunteers.  Right now we are looking for individuals to join spiritual ministry teams in preaching the good news of Jesus to the surrounding communities of our hospitals in the Dominican Republic and Uganda. We need people with construction skills or those who are willing to paint to help keep our hospitals looking great.  If you are a nurse, surgeon, or anesthesiologist, we need your help in healing kids.

Not up for traveling the world? Then consider helping us right from your couch or your kitchen table by sponsoring a child’s surgery on our CUREkids page, knitting a hat for a newborn in Afghanistan through our Knit Pray Love program, or sending a donation to help support the work of CURE.

If any of these opportunities sound interesting or exciting to you, please explore our website, fill out an application for a trip, or email us a question at volunteer@cure.org.

Best wishes in keeping your resolutions this year. We look forward to hearing from you!
