It was packed with critical medications, OR equipment, medical supplies, PT and audiology supplies and other items of humanitarian aid needed to serve the poor by sustaining the work of our partners in Comayagua: the Lions Club, the Regional Hospital Santa Teresa, the San Benito Jose Hospital, CasAyuda and the Comayagua Rehabilitation Center. For the Community Health Workers in our 2 Remote Village Project locations, we sent medication, equipment, supplies and furnishings and for our newly constructed Clinic Building (funded jointly by the Peace Corps and the Brigade) in San Antonio de la Libertad we included examination tables and furniture.

A special thanks to all involved for their time, their efforts, and for the many donations they solicited.  Our commitment  continues as we prepare for our Brigade Mission Trip in November of 2010.
