Our project in Hinduras is at a hospital called Hospital Catarino Rivas. We are in the process of gathering medical supplies and equipment to take down there, hopefully this year. To date we have 2 electric hospital beds, a wheelchair, crutches, canes and walkers. We are going to make contact with companies who manufacture gloves and disposable facemasks with built in faceshields for medical professionals because at this hospital, they don’t have enough gloves or even basic supplies to properly function. The following pictures are when Jill was at this hospital working for a week last year.
