In March 2002, 27 high school students, eight teachers, one staff member, and four medical doctors, traveled with the team to Paraguay to perform community service projects and free clinics. The 40 man team worked extremely hard each day along side Tobatí workers to help improve the infrastructure and services offered to the region's poor. The team had a fantastic experience giving of themselves and forging new relationships with the people of Tobatí.
The team worked each day on the construction of the Macchi education center and also sent representatives each day to work with Team Tobatí's doctors who treated hundreds of patients each day at the public clinic.
The team also visited over twenty schools and distributed clothes, toys, and school supplies to children in poor neighborhoods.
The team also funded and participated in a program that supplied a toothbrush and fluoride to over 10,000 Tobatí students.
Team representatives were again honored by the president of Paraguay at the presidential palace in Asuncion and the team again appeared in the Paraguayan national newspaper many times.
