Clinica Esperanza

some exciting news!!   the   Birthing Center and Pediatric Hospital is nearing completion!  it is thrilling to see how people have rallied around this project to ensure safe and clean deliveries for babies, as well as pediatric care afterwards.  it is amazing to see the items that have been donated.  i was at the clinic the other day and took some photos that i want to share with you. 

please check out the website.  you can read about the history, see photos, and also have an opportunity to give to this wonderful work.  we thank God for Miss Peggy's commitment and dedication to see the 'dream' of providing medical care to the poor of this island a reality!
i have volunteered here and as well come here for treatment many times. i am constantly impressed with the professional care that i receive.   Dr. Raymond is an islander who is committed to helping on the island. i am impressed with how tirelessly he serves!  he works at the clinic daily from around 8:00 - 1:00 and then goes to his other clinic in coxen hole from 3:30 - 7:30.  Plus there are endless volunteers who come down our small island and serve faithfully.  what a blessing to many on this island.   there is never a day here where the clinic is empty. starting as early as 7:00 people line up to see the doctor, they wait patiently in the a/c waiting room, or outside on the porch.  it is a blessing for them to be able to see the doctor and get their meds provided for 70L (which is under 4 dollars)

perhaps this christmas you and your family would like to give in a different way. i encourage you to go to the site and click donate.  it will be a gift that will bless many many people!!
