Where has MedWish served so far?
It’s August, and with things being slow around Cleveland, now is a great time to reflect on what MedWish has accomplished so far this year. How do these statistics sound? Let us know what you think by commenting below!
- 42 countries served, including first-time shipments to Myanmar, Laos, and more.
- Over 200,000 pounds of usable equipment saved from our landfills.
- Over 220,000 pounds redistributed around the world, via 16 containers and 84 hand-carries
- 67 Medical Brigade participants saw 1,667 patients in Nicaragua.
- 460 people attended Band Aid Bash 2011, making it our most successful event ever!
- Over $450,000 raised towards our goal of $661,000.
Not too shabby!
Want to thank you for the good work that you are doing. I am a physician and I am from Sierra Leone. Been in the USA for twenty five years now. I am hoping to return home this year, 2012 and contribute meaningfully to the healthcare of my people. I want to start a Hospital and clinic and would appreciate MEDWISH helping me, and by definition Sierra Leoneans, in providing me with much needed supplies. Thank you.
