Thank You

5/19/07 Muriel returned to her village in Portland, Jamaica and was able to successfully finish her health screenings to over 400 locals near and far. She said the outcome was well worth the waiting time.
She was very proud to present her former school with a brand new laptop, projector, DVD/VCR, printer, and a personal computer. She said “the sacrifice was worth it”.
She is now looking forward to her next mission which will take her to Ghana, West Africa.

 1/13/07 Muriel visited Egypt. While in Aswan she visited a Rehab center, "Manacare", for children with chronic disabilities. She was very happy to donate children's T-shirts, toys and candies to the families and staff.

11/06 thru 12/2/06 During these dates Muriel made two consecutive trips to the village clinic and school in her village in Portland Jamaica. She was able to donate a 20 foot container filled with medical supplies, equipments, medications, clothing, canned and dried foods plus various educational brochures.

With no support from the Ministry of Health in Portland, she was persistent enough in taking control of the container and making sure everything was distributed accordingly.

While transporting the container to her village, bad weather caught her on the road so she had to sleep on in the truck on the roadside. She, however, arrived safely in time to perform four days of health screening for blood pressure, diabetes, eye exam and incorporated health teachings.

The outcomes were extraordinary and rewarding. She promised the village she will return shortly to finish what I started.
Thanks to everyone who donated and made this mission possible.
