Its documented work includes international pediatric burn camps, support for burn-care organizations, medical supplies and equipment, clinical and professional training, burn prevention, scar-treatment initiatives, and survivor reintegration and advocacy. The organization’s work is international rather than U.S.-nationwide, with documented activities in Israel, India, Brazil, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, plus historical support for burn camps and burn-survivor initiatives in the United States.
