Project Report | Feb 6, 2020
Pablo... The voice of a volunteer.

By Nicte Tellez Giron | Project Contributor

On September 26^th, 2017, the first medical care day was organized by Un Buen Grupo de Amigos after many communities were strongly affected by the earthquakes that took place on September 7^th and 19^th. More than 2 years have passed since then, and our work has not stopped; once a month we visit a community that continues suffering the consequences of the 2017 earthquakes.

Today we would like you to meet Pablo, thanks to people like him who volunteers on our Free Medical Care Days, we have been able to keep on helping these communities.

“As a volunteer, I think it is very important to bring health services to low-income communities. More, because we give attention to everyone who needs it, we don’t discriminate anyone, people just have to assist to receive the attention they both need and deserve. It is a great experience because we go to small towns, we learn about their culture, we get to know how people live and the people we attend are grateful for the service we give. This experience has helped me value everything I have in my life.”

With the help of your donations, our staff and many other volunteers like Pablo, we have been able to beneficiate more than 500 people in the past 3 months, with medical and dental assistance, as well as our Health Promotion Workshops.

Thank you so much!

Some other relevant results from November 8^th, 2019 to January 5^th, 2020 are:

208 - Medical patients
284 - Dental patients
74 - Obstetric or pelvic ultrasound
41 - Electrocardiograms

Thank you for believing in this great project, let's keep teaming up!

Thank you for remembering for us the elderly, I had 7 children, but they all live in the United States, although they support me, I do not want to worry them, the one who has come to my community the Mobile Medical Unit to give us the medical consultation, you they are taking care of my health, because of the money that my children from the United States send me, I use it for my support, apart from that because of my age I can no longer go to the City to heal me. Mrs. Yolanda N.

God bless all the medical team that comes with the Mobile Medical Unit, thank you for caring about our health and bringing medication. Come back soon! Mr. Jose N.
