Dr. Bjorn Nilson reports that the Cure Kits purchased by
Frontier Labourerers for Christ were opened yesterday and distributed to the
students. There were very excited to
receive them, and we know the supplies in them will be a great blessing!
Here you can see the Barefoot Doctors and Dr. Nawrocki from
Texas unpacking the Cure Kits, each containing approximately $2,000 worth
of vital medical supplies. Frontier Labourers for Christ U.S. donated
$200 each for the kits and coordinated the entire endeavor. Another
ministry, Project Cure, gathered and boxed the materials and sent them to
Seattle. Boeing and Thai Air cooperated to send them to
Chang Mai free of charge.
Here at the Kalnin Learning Center, volunteers Dr. Nawrocki,
Dr. Janet Warren and RN Anita Terry (both from Toronto sponsored by Samaritan’s
Purse, Canada) are instructing 19 Barefoot Doctors in the use of the Cure Kits. As you
know, this group of Barefoot Doctors come from seven different mountain tribes
in some of the most remote areas in Myanmar, where these supplies are
desperately needed. Each kit, weighing 50 pounds, will be carried back to
their individual villages, many in the outer reaches of the Himalayas.
Supplies not used by the Barefoot Doctors will be shared with the local health
centers that often go without the bare essentials.
Dr. Nilson also gave his heartfelt thanks to all of the volunteers
who come at their own expense to help our students. Some of these teachers have already come
three or four times. We are also grateful for the participation of many medical
professionals from Samaritan’s Purse who have come this year. We thank God for all of our partners.
Thank you for your prayers and for reading our blog.
Jon
