Medical brigade in Palestina: health and hope in Coloradal

On Saturday May 9, 2026, the team from Fundación LIRES traveled to the recinto Coloradal to transform realities.

Thanks to the invitation from Dr. Lilibet Contreras, we joined hearts to care for our children, older adults and people with disabilities.

Services provided

We were able to provide the following services in the community:

• General medicine and distribution of free medicines and vitamins.
• Physical therapy and dentistry.
• Optometry, glucose testing and vital signs.
• Manicures and pedicures.
• Recreational games for the little ones.

Partners and donors

None of this would be possible without the heart of our partners.

Our eternal gratitude to DYVENPRO (Grupo DIFARE), Kronos Laboratorios and Rocnarf laboratories for their invaluable contribution of medicines.

Thank you Andrea Alcívar for the gift of the eyeglasses, and thank you June Castagneto for the pencils and vitamins that were given out at this brigade.
