Buena Park, CA 90621Re: Women for World Health’s Medical Mission Cuenca, Ecuador (November 2008)
To our Supporters at Giving Children Hope:
Our 16-member team returned in late November from what we believe was the first all-women medical mission to Ecuador. We were sponsored by one of the Rotary Clubs in Cuenca (the “Cuenca Patrimonio”) and were supported by generous individual, corporate, and foundation donors, including Giving Children Hope. Several dozen babies, children, teenagers, and adults were seen in clinic, and over the next five days, we performed 58 procedures (cleft lip, cleft palate, and nasal revisions) on 43 patients.
Throughout our time in Ecuador, one thing was crystal clear to those of us on our first mission: the level of gratitude expressed by the patients, parents, grandparents, and guardians was like nothing we’d ever seen or felt before. As our fellow team members who had been on other missions already knew, that fact alone will send us out the door to repeat this work over and over again.
Please accept our deep gratitude for the extensive help you provided to gather and organize medical equipment and supplies prior to our trip. It was nothing short of amazing!
Sincerely,
Bridget Weber
Treasurer, Women for World Health, Inc.
