The construction of the medical clinic in Bohol is progressing very well and according to schedule. During our recent trip, Mark Ward met with our partner clinicians (Doc Mai Albarando Sara and Kuya Doc Noeh Ortega Fernandez) and potential charity partner (Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen & Professionals) who will provide the much needed clinical skills on a volunteer basis. He is also happy to announce that the facility will also be used to train future eye doctors as part of their degree!
We currently have a number of volunteers from the Rotary Clubs of Gladstone (Queensland) and Balwyn (Victoria) who are working to complete the final stages of the building – e.g. painting, light fittings, etc. We’ve also been receiving a steady flow of donations to purchase medical supplies and equipment – which is really great. Our heartfelt gratitude to Rotary Club of Balwyn, Rotary Club of Gladstone Midday, HPI, Jason and Leanne Buchholz and other individual supporters for helping us reach this point!Although we still have a long way to go, we are already looking forward to providing basic health services to many disadvantaged children and families in Bohol!
