Dear Friends, yet again I seek your support for another mission to Uganda. First I must thank you all. Your support both monetary and otherwise have made all the difference. I apologize I haven't been able to stay better in touch, but as usual, medical school keeps me pretty dang busy.
This January I'm going to Lacor Uganda to do a rotation at Lacor Hospital. I'm also bringing 4000 bucks worth of medical supplies to give to Dr Francis, my dear Acholi brother, who spends his weekends running mobile clinics in Internally Displaced Persons camps far from the reach of any NGOs, government or other sort of help, particularly medical. Francis' simple clinics, set up on a papyrus mat under palm trees saves countless lives. He and his friend Dr Justin will see 150 people in a day and work sunup to sundown.
The problem with the medical supplies I'm bringing is this: I still have no antibiotics. I have found with the help of my favorite American Dr, David Boulware, an NGO called JMS that sells drugs in Uganda at cost to medical professionals and organizations doing work for the poor. With one or two thousand dollars, we could save hundreds of lives. With these medicines, children will live who would otherwise die of diarrhea, worms, pneumonia, malaria, etc. Please click on the PayPal button to the right to give your life saving donation, and partner with me and francis in caring for the poor. Help us give children a fighting chance at life.
Thank you all and bless you!
PS I'll be going on 2 mobile clinics if we can raise the money for the medicine, so I'll be able to share photos and stories personally, so you'll be able to see exactly who your generosity helped!
