Dear GHC donor,
The first donation of this campaign came in on September 20, 2016. It is now just four months later, and what a difference YOUR DONATIONS in that timeframe have made!
You have been part of a group that has donated $2,750 towards the provision of Clean Birth Kits.
Here is how we used that funding (along with support from other partners/donors): From that first donation to today, we have assembled over 2,000 Clean Birth Kits with valued corporate, healthcare and academic partners, which will touch 4,000 lives. With HKS Architects, we have distributed 1,000 kits to Kachumbala Clinic in Uganda. We have distributed 550 kits to eleven maternity clinics in Nigeria through the Daughters of Charity. We have provided 700 kits to the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) to be used by mothers in Syria and surrounding areas of need.
Earl Bridges, GHC Board Member, helped deliver 1,000 Clean Birth Kits to Kachumbala Clinic in Uganda with members from HKS Architects, who sponsored an assembly at their headquarters in Dallas. He said when meeting with mothers and traditional birth attendants, he was told that these kits were precious, that once pregnant women received them, they were carried everywhere they went, understanding that they were not just plastic bags with supplies, but lifesaving kits that could serve as the key between life and death in certain situations.
Please help us as we launch into 2017. Our goal in 2017 is to assemble between 50,000 to 100,000 Clean Birth Kits. That is an ambitious goal, and we need your support.

You helped make this happen!
Our fundraising is complete! We are getting ready to order the ICN Mobile Library, which will be delivered to ANI-Mandalay, the first American nursing school in Myanmar, by the end of the year.
These books are rare, if not impossible to find in Myanmar, so the gift of these books will have a huge impact on the students benefitting from them.
Thank you again for your contribution. Without you, these students would not have this resource that will benefit classes for years to come. Most importantly, it will benefit patients for years to come.
Please enjoy pictures from the first class of ANI Myanmar, graduated just this past August!
Warmest regards,

Dearest donors,
We are pleased to inform you that all funds from this campaign were directed into the good hands of Rev. Fr. Elie Madi of the Maronite Missionary Congregation. The Congregation is providing the follow relief items to refugees living in the Beirut area.
It was our intention to personally deliver these items, however at this time, due to the price of travel, the decision was made to transfer the funds to the Maronite Missionary Congregation for expediency and maximum impact.
The congregation has put all funds towards relief, providing receipts, photos, and impact stories back to GHC so we can share with you, our generous donors (which will be forthcoming in the next month).
Our most heartfelt thanks,
Patricia and Susan
