In January and February 2007 our team traveled to Managua, Nicaragua, to provide Traditional Chinese Medicine services to the children of the Parajito Azul orphanage.

our day at the beach
Eduardo Carson is an elementary school teacher in Edmonton, Alberta. He and his students at St. Angela's School raised money so that our acupuncture brigade could take the kids at Parajito Azul to the beach for the day.
A huge thank you to Ed and to all of his students for this wonderful experience!
Your style of presentation is very impressive. The meaningful contribution of your mind reflects on those people who are looking for new ideas and informations Acupuncture Works in Nicaragua. I would like to tweet on it and keep spying at every moment you blogging.

Welcome to our little blog. Please email us with any questions or comments at AWN2007@gmail.com
It is this team’s mission to investigate the use of acupuncture as a modality of healing for children with various developmental and physical disabilities in a community where access to health care is limited.
Traditional Chinese Medicine, and specifically acupuncture, has been practiced for over 3000 years and has been recognized by the World Health Organization to provide relief for over 40 different conditions.
We are interested in exploring how this safe, simple and inexpensive treatment will improve the quality of life for these children. Acupuncture is not meant to act as a replacement for Western Medicine; rather, it is our mandate to open the door to providing complementary care. Acupuncture does not require the careful administering of pharmaceuticals or extensive follow-up that many Western treatments and surgeries necessitate.
For a community where the cost of treatment is prohibitive, acupuncture will provide high quality, cost-effective services to children who require care.
