Healing Help Monthly Update: March 2008

In March 2008, CMMB made 63 shipments of donated medicines and supplies to 18 countries, valued at $13,618,028. So far in fiscal year 2008, CMMB has shipped 303 donations to 32 countries, valued at $64,427,943.

Honduras
CMMB provides medicines and medical supplies to M.E.D.I.C.O. (Medical, Eye & Dental International Care Organization) on a continuing basis for distribution throughout Central America. Since their inception, M.E.D.I.C.O. has made over 100 medical trips to Honduras, many of which have been supported by CMMB. In December 2007, CMMB donated approximately $4,700 worth of primary medicines for a M.E.D.I.C.O mission to Honduras. Throughout 2007, CMMB made 8 shipments to M.E.D.I.C.O. for Honduras valuing over $90,000 dollars.

Kenya
Brother Robert Hoffman, of Glenmary Home Missioners, hand-carries CMMB donated medicines to the Kasamba Rural Health Project in Kisumu, Kenya annually. This year, CMMB’s donation consisted of much-needed vitamins and anitbiotics. Brother Hoffman’s annual trips to Kenya last for three months serving rural, poor populations where few health services exist. In 2006, Brother Hoffman spent his time in Kenya converting two unused Catholic Churches into medical clinics.

CMMB has supported the efforts of Brother Hoffman and the other contributors to the Kasamba Rural Health Project with donations in 2006, 2007, and 2008, totaling more than $45,000 worth of medicines and supplies.

Zambia
Last month CMMB made a shipment of primary healthcare medicines for the Chinyingi Mission. Chinyingi is a Capuchin mission and hospital in the sparsely populated North-Western Province of Zambia.

Since the Capuchin Friar's, CMMB’s local partner, presence in Zambia, the Chinyngi Mission Hospital has increased the number of beds from 100 to over 300. They work together with the Daughters of the Redeemer Sisters to provide medications, health screening programs, woman's programs, and transportation of patients to medical facilities. Together they are providing much needed primary healthcare services in an area where basic services are often life-saving, but very limited.
