Lourdes Duque Baron is also a philanthropist. At the age of 70, she is not showing any signs of stopping. Lourdes Duque Baron challenges the usual idea of what a person could be and together with her husband Dr. Baron they are continuously inspiring more people.
Hope for the World Foundation is a film documentary about the medical mission that was given to Mexico and the Philippines. The documentary film was able to raise local and international awareness about social issues that are related to women and the local communities where the medical mission was conducted. It was also recognized for its ability to depict peace, love and humanitarian action.
Every filmmaker in the world has a unique story to tell, and W.I.N. D International Film Festival was able to see through the efforts that were provided by a team of volunteers with the guidance of Hope for the World Foundation founders.
The short documentary film provided a diverse story; it provided a relevant but fresh perspective on the social issues affecting Mexico and the Philippines. It served as a bridge for peace and friendship between East and Western parts of the world through the gift of art.
HOPE for the World Foundation and Medical Missions Fund through the support of volunteers and charitable contributions provide local communities with tools and medicine including basic treatment to complex surgical operations for the young and the old. Every year, a team of volunteers together with Lourdes Duque Baron and husband Dr. Robinson Baron goes to the poorest communities to provide medicine, surgical operations that would include operations for eye cataract and thyroid gland problems to name a few.
According to Dr. Robinson Baron, this is his way of giving back to the Philippines.
They felt compelled to reach out, just imagine the number of people who are going to lose their eyes and life had the missions not started 25 years ago.
Lourdes Duque Baron found peace in giving back, sharing something to people she does not even know despite the odds. Traveling to certain locations in Mexico and the Philippines is a matter of security but the Hope for the World Foundation and Medical Missions Fund were brave enough to continue.
Dr. Pedro Lagrosa started the foundation as an answer to the problem that he saw in his own hometown in the province of Palawan. Upon seeing that there is a growing need, he tapped into more people to broaden the network. He returned to California and approached Dr. Robinson V. Baron, and Baron heeded the call and provided his personal outreach expertise and services as a surgeon.
Today as a result of team effort and numerous contributions from volunteers, physicians and volunteers from the United States are recruited every year to join fellow humanitarians in the Philippines, forming a dedicated group of people who provide medical consultations to hundreds of families and perform both minor and major surgeries to thousands of Filipinos.
