We are Kemmel and Lisa Dunham, medical missionaries serving with Health Talents International in the rural area of Chichicastenango, El Quiche in Guatemala. We have been blessed with an opportunity to serve with local churches in a ministry sharing the love of God with each person we meet. We hope you enjoy our stories and updates.

Women's Health
One of our clinical focuses in our ministry is Women's Health. In Guatemala, the overall health of women can be negatively affected by numerous factors: chronic malnutrition, illiteracy, young age of first sexual activity, high childbirth rates, high maternal mortality rates and high cervical cancer rates. Here is a list of services that Health Talents offers. Currently our staff serves in over 30 communities through local churches, in addition to our central base clinics, Clinica Caris and Clinica Ezell. Our hope is to continue expanding in the future. If you would like to contribute to this work, just click on DONATE and it will take you to the Health Talents International donations form. Thank you!
