We are getting excited about our upcoming trip.
We leave EARLY on May 7th for our one week stay as part of Mariner's 2020 Vision.
We'll be conducting mobile medical clinics at 4 separate locations in and around San Salvador including two days on the island (Isla La Calzada) and another day in Jicalapa in the area known as La Libertad.
Our team of six has been busy preparing and planning for the work ahead, learning as much as we can about the needs of the people and gathering supplies to take with us.
It isn't too late to donate over the counter medications. We are especially in need of anti-fungal creme, yeast infection treatments and children's vitamins.
The generous folks at Super Nutrition donated TONS of multi-vitamins and local dentists Dr. David Maahs and Dr. C. Ray Sheppard donated toothbrushes, and dental flossers along with instructional materials and DVDs. We are also extremely grateful for the donations we received from Stanford Hospital and from our Mariner's family. Next Sunday, May 1st, we'll be "sent out" from Mariner's as we're commissioned at the 10:30 service.
We would appreciate your prayers for us as we travel and for the week we'll spend on the ground in El Salvador. We'll do our best to keep this blog updated with photos and news from the field so please follow along with us.
