About us
A clinic and a classroom on the island, and friends in Virginia who keep them going.

EVACE International
Raises the money and sends it to the island. Everyone here is a volunteer.
How it started
In 2006 Chip and Rhome Nuttall opened a free clinic in their home in Pilar, where Rhome grew up.
Ten years later Oliver Dahl, then a teenager in Virginia, joined them to start EVACE, so the Nuttalls could care for patients while others raised the money. The computer classroom followed soon after.
