Allison Caire
CHSC Board Member
Allison and her husband Will were some of the first CHSC missionaries, sent out in 2012 to language school in Costa Rica and then to Hospital Diospi Suyana in Curahuasi, Peru, where they served for four years. Allison helped the American students transition to life in Peruvian school and taught English and language arts at Colegio Diospi Suyana. The Caires then moved to Kijabe, Kenya, where Will worked at Kijabe Hospital and Allison taught English and Spanish at Rift Valley Academy for six years. Allison loved living as an overseas missionary, loved getting to know many missionary kids at school, and loved hosting the other doctor families in weekly Bible studies.
