Hello
my wonderful friends.
I have found myself in a new medical/volunteer (unpaid) project
in Africa and I was hoping for a little bit of financial help. And
because of the exchange rate even 5 dollars, 5euros or 5 pounds will help.
But first can I tell you my story…
Long story short: I am a Venezuelan MD. I worked in Venezuela
for 2 years. Working in HIV clinic, emergency, etc. In 2014 during the
riots in my city, San Cristobal, I was working in the Emergency
Department and after a day of treating gun shot wounds inflicted by
(Government/Police/armed civilians supporters of the government)
because medical treatment was against the wishes of the police I was
asked not so politely to leave my country.
So I did.
I currently “live” in Germany. I am using
italics because I have spent most of my last 5 years volunteering for
various organisations:
- Medicin Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) in some
central/east African Countries, running Feeding programs, HIV,
malaria, emergency projects, starting health clinics.
-LALMBA organisation in Kenya & Ethiopia running almost same
projects as before, but also, training program for local staff.
I have fallen in love with Africa.
And the last 4 months I have worked with Mercy Ships. Which was
a dream of mine for many years. And by the way, I'm coming back in
August for the entire field service in Monrovia, Liberia.!!!
And I loved it.
But my days of volunteering had come to an end…. or so I
thought.
God had other plans, as usual. I was looking for a paid position
because after 5 years of volunteering my financials had almost come
down to the end.
But… my love with Africa and volunteering called to me again.
And I recently have been invited by EGC (Evangelical Church of The
Gambia) to work in the country. The hospital there does high quality
triage, hospitalisation, deliveries and most recent and the main
reason of they invites me, a Training School for local nurses (yay)
But although my flights have been paid for by this charitable
organisation, I will need to cover my living costs, develop small new
projects (health, loans to start small business, etc) and other
expenses as outreach in remotes areas of the country to reach most
vulnerable population that requires health services (For eg.
vaccinations, antenatal care, etc.)
I have a real heart for Africa and I love serving there. I am
lucky to be able to have the opportunity to be able to do so much good
in a place with so much need.
So I am asking friends. If you could help me feed my addiction
of volunteering and Africa.
Thanks you and May God Bless you.
