Inaugurated in 1984, the creation of this hospital is the work of the Father Armand Gagné, trinitaire, whereas he was missionary in Guatemala of 1975 to 1983. At the time of the departure of the Father Armand for another mission, his friends, parents and old parish of Quebec (Canada), which organized already various activities and liftings of funds to help the Father Armand in the realization of his projects, decide to officialize their regrouping. Thus in March 86 was born it: “Fondation les Amis du Père Armand Gagné inc.” recorded as organization of charity. Today still, thanks to tens of voluntary, the Foundation supports all the projects initiated by the Father Armand in Guatemala. 100% of the gifts of the public are versed with our projects.

Cardus is a think tank focusing on critical, long-term social needs. We are part of the North American "ideas business": making and marketing ideas, shaping public policy much like teachers shape their students. Cardus' research reflects on, and works to integrate into many spheres, the broad wisdom of the biblical narrative of brokenness and restoration--emphasizing respect for human diversity, the sacredness of life, the purpose of history, and the responsible use of resources. Non-partisan and widely connected, Cardus is uniquely suited to lead communities through meaningful conversations on the ideas that define us. By forming valuable and practical policy packages, and communicating them ingenuously and persistently, Cardus is changing the landscape of public discussion.
