I know the program of the Bible Society of Argentina in the Wichi's community located in one of the poorest area of this country (Argentina). The role of the BSA was the implmentation of one program of health and cultura through the implementation of one small clinic and one translation program of the Bible (New Testament) to theirs language.

The role of this Faith Based Organization is really of a huge impact in LA with holistic programs in more than 25 countries (South America, Mexico and Caribe).
