Solid infrastructure + passion = Collective Effervescence
(Meaning: gathering together for a common good creates feelings of well-being among volunteers).

| Team members arriving in Guatemala City, January 2014 |
 | ||||
| While our interpreters translated for several thousand patients; |
 |
| We entertained waiting patients; |
 |
| Guatemalan women and children waited for donated care (1,600 of them); |
 |
| And 98 patients received donated surgery; 4285 prescriptions were donated, 183 dental patients were cared for and 9 patients received donated orthotics.   |
It was a week filled with good
people doing great work for the common good of patients they had no
prior relationship with and would most likely never see again.
Passion + Commitment + professionalism = COTA Volunteers
