Dentist
“In Peru, most patients do not have enough resources to pay for dental services. I am happy to be part of the solution, helping many people smile through Con Corazón. I feel very proud to be part of this incomparable team of people, with whom we share the same vision of life."
Endodontist
"I love the work environment at Con Corazón. Dental materials and equipment facilitate my work, making them more predictable and of quality. There is a very positive energy. Without a doubt, patients are the ones who benefit the most. Very happy to belong to this great team and to be able to serve with my skill as an endodontist."
Dentist
"Working as a dentist in the NGO is more than practicing my profession, it is serving with purpose. Every restored smile represents hope for families facing great challenges. In the NGO Con Corazón I have learned that dentistry not only heals mouths, it also strengthens communities and restores dignity to those who need it most."
Physician
"Seeing and treating patients from rural communities with limited access to basic healthcare breaks my heart. However, thanks to the initiatives of the NGO Con Corazón, to which I am proud to belong, we are able to ensure that our patients receive the various medical and dental treatments and benefits offered by our medical center."
Biologist
"I love being part of this group of people because it allows me to be in contact with different socio-economic realities, and to know that my effort, time and knowledge will have value for the benefit of the people for whom the activities are carried out. I also learn something new every time and the satisfaction of helping is one of the best rewards."

As Con Corazón administrator, my commitment is to ensure that every effort, every resource, and every bit of support reaches those people who need it most. Serving with transparency, responsibility, and abundant love is my way of building a more just future for our community."
Nurse and Dental Assistant
"My heart is full of gratitude. After four years as part of the Con Corazón team, I have the privilege of witnessing how the support and health care translates into health and well-being for those who need it most. Thanks to the NGO, low-income individuals can access treatments and medical care that would otherwise be unattainable."
Translator
"I have two daughters, Ana and Marta. I live near our health center. I am in charge of pharmacy, cleaning, triage, nurse assisting and translating. Through the training and experience gained over the years, I learned the basics of how to care for a sick patient in my village. It makes me very happy to help my own people."

I enjoy helping others, being empathetic to the health problems in my community, and transforming their quality of life. I am very grateful to be part of the NGO, as it allows me to serve and contribute to the well-being of those who need it most."
Responsible Knitting Production
"As a longtime Con Corazón employee, I am very happy to focus on the knitting workshop. Thereby I am responsible for the productions for our Swiss Fair Trade dealer El Tucan. With the knitting production we enable numerous mothers to earn a year-round income."
"Con Corazón does valuable work supporting communities in important areas of their lives. I was warmly welcomed, and it was an honor to work with you! thank you for this unique opportunity to contribute to the organization and to immerse myself in the Peruvian culture - my time was wonderful!"
"I had the opportunity to volunteer at Con Corazón. I worked alongside Dr. Saulo and his team. The clinics provided services performed by qualified staff and volunteers. Although I had no dental background, I was able to assist the dentists with tooth extractions, cleanings, and fillings."
“Saulo and his colleagues were incredibly friendly and generous with their time. We’ve formed friendships that will outlast our stay. Staying in Cusco for a month also gave us the opportunity to really get under the skin of the city, and understand better the Peruvian way of life and traditions.”
"The Andes are my birthplace and I feel deeply connected to this region. To have the opportunity to support the people there in a direct way and without detours is something great. Knowing that donations are going to the right place, to the right people, is what I thank and trust Con Corazón for."
"Con Corazón uses a sustainable model providing subsidized quality dental care to lower income populations. The highlight was being able to work in Marampaqui. These patients have minimal access to dental care, and it was amazing to be able to provide care in such a remote location."
“We felt we wanted to give back! As part of our six-month sabbatical we thought Cusco is the perfect place to pause and give some time helping through Con Corazón. We have been mainly assisting the work of the dental clinic. It’s clear this NGO is having a big positive impact within the region.”
"I support Con Corazón because Danièle's involvement has convinced me, from the beginning, that the help arrives directly, without any detours. What is also fascinating to me is the constant further development and the focus on the long-term perspective. The highlight was the visit in 2019."
"Marampaqui gave me faith and love. I am grateful to Con Corazón for the chance to serve as a volunteer doctor. I deeply admire their dedication and passion, bringing health each month with love and commitment. Their work inspires me, and I will always be happy to support them when invited."
"What I remember most about my involvement was working with the people in the remote Andean region, where the organization provides valuable support. The unique insight into the culture and way of life of those people is definitely one of the most beautiful and memorable of my stay."
"Over the years, the Rotary Club of Aarau has been able to generate various projects together with Con Corazón. One of the highlights was certainly the construction of the Medical Center at over 4,000 meters above sea level. The cooperation is always very sustainable, efficient and professional."
"In August 2019 finally I had the opportunity to go to the Andes in South America. There I had finished one month of volunteering at the dental clinic in Cusco, Peru. I really enjoyed helping poor people through making dental cleanings for the patients. What an incredible team to work with!"
"I have been following Con Corazón for years, so a visit to Peru was logical and very precious for me. It was extremely impressive to enter into this unknown world and to capture it photographically. As a professional photographer, I still enjoy the impressive images from the Andean region."
"Wow, what an impressive landscape at over 4,000 m.a.s.l., what a beautiful place in the Andes, what unbelievable warm-hearted people! Immediately there was another wow, there is a lot to do for me in the next four months! Marampaqui became a second home for me".
"'The only thing that can eliminate poverty is to share with each other. ' Mother Teresa's quote points out how important Con Corazón's mission is to fight poverty in the long term and to give people a perspective. I am very grateful that I was able to visit the organization in Peru."
"Volunteering to work alongside Dr. Saulo and his incredible team at Con Corazón has been a highlight in my nursing career. Having the opportunity to serve and provide the people of Marampaqui with free medical & dental services in these remote villages was an absolute rewarding experience. "
"The aim of my sabbatical was not just to travel, but to really get to know a country, its people, its culture and its language. Being a teacher for health education, it was amazing to see how health promotion can be realized in different Con Corazón projects - with a lot of passion and with heart!"
