Chicago, IL 60630
The Damien House is a private hospital in Guayaquil Ecuador established for the housing and treatment of patients afflicted with Hansen’s disease (leprosy). In the footsteps of St. Damien de Veuster, an American nun from Brooklyn NY, Sister Anne Credidio founded the Damien House over 30 years ago. She is a Mother Theresa-like figure who provides surgical procedures, permanent housing and a dignified existence to more than 60 year-round patients.

Snooks to Africa
Brandon and Kate Snook have been called to serve in the nation of Togo. The Snooks have an extensive background in medicine as well as in Bible training; Togo is a nation that needs the Gospel. Brandon and Kate will be teaming up with the Association of Baptist for World Evangelism to help reach the people of Togo through one of the two Christian hospitals run by ABWE in Togo: Hospital of Hope in the North and Hospital Baptiste Biblique - HBB in the South. These hospitals function to help the suffering Togolese population’s physical needs.

Franzetti Art
ValeU Group’s own Joe Franzetti and his father (Paul) have travelled the world photographing rare and exotic places in order to use the images to create an original art calendar of Paul’s oil paintings and Joe’s charcoal sketches. 100% of the profits from the sale of their artwork and calendars are donated to The Damien House – a leprosy treatment hospital in Guayaquil Ecuador. Joe’s older brother was a missionary at this very hospital a decade earlier. What was meant to be a brief stop-over visit to the hospital en-route to the Galapagos Islands transformed into a purposeful mission.
