Hello friends and supporters of our micro project 'Restoring health to 5 villages in Guatemala'!
I am very excited to tell you that due your generosity we have officially raised enough funds to start planning the first two field clinics of 2016! The first one has officially been scheduled for February 24th! During this half-day field clinic we are expecting to see over 50 children along with their parents.
For the children in the communities, our main objective is to make sure that they are healthy and developing appropriately for their ages. To do this the clinic staff will weigh each child along with take their height and give them a general check up.
As for the adults who attend the field clinic, their health is also very important to us, we will take their blood pressure and give them a complete check up. Through detecting illnesses early within the parents we are also helping the community be able to provide their children with the opportunities to exceed their current situations through their constant support.
If there are any health problems detected, and need to be taken care of or addressed further by our medical team the children and parents will be invited to our clinics at the Dreamer Center. Once they become a patient within our clinics they will be able to receive more intimate care by our medical providers. This is especially important for the infants and young children throughout the communities surrounding Antigua.
We here at The GOD'S CHILD Project and Casa Jackson are so excited for these field clinics, and we extend a huge thank you to each of you who have helped make this project possible. After the field clinic this month we will also be providing you with the results and pictures. Until then, thank you for your constant support, and please consider talking about us with your family and friends.
Sincerely,
Melissa SchrodenDirector of Donations and Special Opportunities
