CHARIS, Inc hasn't added a story.
Our mission trip to Macary was a success! The kids received their backpacks, the new school is under construction, and Dr. Henderson was able perform 379 physicals on children and adults.
The school building that we are working on now will not only hold classes Monday thru Friday, but will double as a clinic for the village of Macary and surrounding villages. Which means we will need supplies…lots of supplies and we are asking for your help!
Our deadline for collection and shipping is March 19th. This is to ensure we can get supplies to our clinic as soon as possible. Thank you again for all your help in caring for the community of Macary.
The items suggested should provide adequate supplies to equip a clinic seeing approximately 1,000 patients.
