Local Chiropractor brings healthcare and hope to East Africa.

Dr. Warren Bruhl has spent over 25 years bringing the healing power of chiropractic to residents in the Chicagoland area. A well-known and respected Pediatric Chiropractor, Bruhl is a gifted healer who is now using his gift to help the less fortunate.

Fueled by a desire to make a difference in the world, Dr. Bruhl opted to leave his full-time practice to focus on bringing hope and healing to East Africa and to bring sports to kids in need. Bruhl states, “I felt like I was being called by God to do something bigger with my life.”

Since leaving his flourishing full-time practice based in Glencoe, IL in 2012, he has used this gift to bring healing and hope to those less fortunate.

Armed with a mission to make a difference, Dr. Warren Bruhl is helping the “needy become the needed.” The licensed chiropractor recently returned from his ninth mission with Dreamweaver International where he helped deliver healthcare and chiropractic in Kenya, East Africa.

Since then, in addition to his continued mission work in Kenya, he has been instrumental in creating a sports project of Dreamweaver International that has delivered sports and hope to needy kids around the world. To date, Bruhl has helped over 80,000 children in 25 countries, including the U.S., with the Gear for Goals‘ sport/arts project of Dreamweaver International.

Dreamweaver International is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Northbrook, IL that has a long and successful history of dramatic accomplishment in East Africa working with the Maasai tribes of Kenya and Tanzania. Bruhl serves as a Director for Dreamweaver as well as Executive Director of Dreamweaver’s Gear for Goals’ project.

The focus of Dreamweaver’s Kenya 2015 outreach, occurring January 7 through January 24, was three-fold. The first goal was to provide free medical care, including chiropractic, to the underserved population in Kenya in the KImana Rift Valley, consisting mostly of the Maasai tribe.

Dreamweaver first introduced chiropractic care in this region in 2012 and since, has discovered a huge demand as chiropractic care addresses many of the challenges the Maasai face, including musculoskeletal pain from labor and the effects of poverty.

Bruhl adds, “Without chiropractic care, people suffer and in many cases their survival can be challenged because they may not be able to work and feed their family.” During the effort, chiropractic care was provided for over 2,000 patients.

Education was Dreamweaver’s next goal. During the trip, Bruhl and his team focused on educating doctors and other health care workers at the local hospital and they also taught in the villages, teaching sustainable ways for villagers to care for themselves.

Dreamweaver also gained final approval from the Kenyan Health Ministry to build Kilimanjaro Mission Hospital on Dreamweaver’s 10-acre campus and aims to raise $40,000 to build a chiropractic clinic for the hospital.

When completed, Kilimanjaro Mission Hospital will help over a half million Maasai and other Africans have access to life saving medicine, surgery, chiropractic, physical therapy, dentistry, and other services. To find out more about Dreamweaver’s relief efforts, check out their YouTube video.

In addition, Dreamweaver also finalized a charter for their recently formed Mt. Kilimanjaro Little League that currently boasts 7 girls and boys’ teams, that play and practice daily. The first local tourney is scheduled for Feb 28.

“It was amazing to see how the kids have taken to baseball since they had never even heard of the game before,” states Bruhl.

Also supporting the effort were doctors, nurses, software educators, and student doctors including Dr. Jeff Kahrs, Dr. David Neubauer, Carrie Neubauer, Jean Bons, Robyn McCoy, Carrie Barnett, Dr. Scott Smith, Heidi Smith, and Beret and Kari Smith who captured the event with both photos and videos.
