This coming February I have been given the amazing opportunity to travel to Honduras through the collaboration of Trent University and Friends Of Honduran Children (FOHC) for my community placement; a step in my journey in becoming a Registered Nurse. Due to a lack of government support for health care, and a serious shortage of adequate facilities, potable water and sanitation services have led to a serious health crisis throughout Honduras. Teaching prevention and healthier lifestyles are a key part in making a sustainable difference. Our team of volunteers consisting of family physicians, registered nurses, nursing students, dentists, non-medical volunteers, Spanish interpreters, and a police officer, will be travelling to Honduras in February to provide free medical and dental care to Honduras' most vulnerable. We will see up to 1,500 medical patients and 500 dental patients during our visit. We will be providing free medical care and medications to people who, because of their location and socio-economic status, have very limited access to medical services. My fellow volunteers and I are assuming full responsibility for all travel, food, and accomodation costs for this trip. Our team is looking for monetary donations to cover the additional costs of supplies, medical supplies, and medications that will be used on our brigade. Your generous donations will be used to purchase and install 4 water filters, costing $125 each, in the rural areas of Trujillo. We will also be providing families with food packs that consist of non-perishable items such as rice, beans, and corn flour that will amount to approximately $250 per day, as well as certain medications that can only be purchased in country. Please feel free to contact me for more information, or visit www.honduranchildren.com if you are interested in learning more about this foundation and their cause! Please help change someone's life by making a donation, every little bit helps!
