Community Health Worker Program

Dear GlobalGiving Donors,

We are thrilled to share the significant progress made over the past three months in the Community Health Worker Program. June to August marked the high season for internships at the medical post, where our dedicated medicine and dentistry students attended to nearly 200 patients.

Challenges and Solutions:

• Dentistry Chair Repair: Leslie, our local dentist, faced difficulties with her dentistry chair, hindering her ability to perform simple procedures. Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to repair the chair, ensuring that dental care can be provided efficiently.
• Glucose Measurement Equipment: Luisa, our Head Nurse, lacked the necessary equipment to measure glucose levels for diabetes patients. Given the prevalence of diabetes in our community, regular check-ups are crucial. Your contributions enabled us to supply the medical post with essential medicines and equipment.

Upcoming Initiatives: Next month, we face new challenges and exciting opportunities:

• Cooking Workshop: Carmen Perea, who ran a marathon for our cause in March, will return to lead a workshop teaching locals how to cook meals that prevent diabetes, hypertension, and anemia. This workshop will be a fantastic opportunity for learning and community bonding.
• HPV Vaccination: We will also be administering HPV vaccines to willing teenagers among the workshop participants.

Your generosity and goodwill drive these initiatives, making a tangible difference in our community.

Thank You: We deeply appreciate your support and encourage you to consider donating again. Your contributions empower us to provide more resources and organize additional workshops in the near future.

Thank you once again for your invaluable help.

Warm regards,

Alejandro Pizarro
