BIBAK Arizona Conducts Successful Medical & Dental Outreach in Paracelis, Mt. Province
“The body was tired, but the heart was full of purpose.
It started with a long-haul flight, followed immediately by an arduous drive north—13 hours through winding highways and mountain passes, and then another grueling hour over rough, unpaved terrain. The destination? A remote, tucked-away village called Buringal in the Mountain Province, where hope, healing, and heart awaited.”
– Randy, BIBAK Arizona Outreach Team
This powerful reflection captures the spirit of our recent Health and School Mission—an effort that challenged us physically, moved us deeply, and left a lasting impact on everyone involved.
From June 26 to 28, the BIBAK Arizona Outreach Team traveled to Paracelis, Mountain Province, to bring essential medical, dental, and community support to the remote schools of Buringal and Makilo, as well as nearby residents. What awaited us were warm smiles, open hearts, and a community eager for care.
