Episode Details

From a World Cup surprise to a global medical mission: Cape Verde’s tiny islands, home to just half a million people, defied expectations on the soccer field—and then took on an even bigger challenge: delivering life-saving healthcare. When doctors were scarce and patients had to travel thousands of miles for treatment, one immigrant’s vision sparked Project Health CV. For 16 years, volunteer U.S. doctors have traveled to Cape Verde, offering free surgeries, training local staff, and donating millions in supplies—preventing evacuations and restoring dignity. What began as a medical crusade has become a cultural bridge, proving that resilience, compassion, and community can turn a small nation into a global force.
