Mesoamerican Cultural Preservation is a project sponsored by International Health Emissaries (IHE), a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in 2000 provides health and educational services. Both organizations provide support, education and volunteers that represent the United States with positive service in Latin America and spread cultural understanding and appreciation.

As of June 2008, the fourth and final expedition completed the project's fieldwork. Expedition team members succeeded in recording, interviewing, and producing rare footage that few have documented in these remote cultural pockets of ancient traditions: native art, sacred ceremonies,  backstrap weaving, spiritual beliefs,  blow pipe hunting, music that crossed time from the early pre-Columbian conquest, dancing with machetes around huge open fires, tribal healers expelling bad spirits from diseased bodies, and many indigenous cultural customs.

Excerpt from project report "We were touched and inspired by their commitment to keep their tribal ways alive and honored that they welcomed us into their homes. Our team was assured  that witnessing these ceremonies and rituals was very uncommon for outsiders to experience and a "first" for them to trust strangers. As new friends, we surpassed language barriers while differences between us were brought together through generosity."

Over the years, Mesoamerican Cultural Preservation has also brought relief to impacted indigenous populations in Central America. In addition to documenting, this project has provided tons of food/provisions and thousands of dollars to aid these remote villages, including donations towards a water system.
