C2C Supporters and Friends,
It's been a busy summer at C2C in our efforts to open our Namibian clinic. Two of our staff members, Ellen and Allison, recently arrived home from Swakopmund- during their productive trip they met with our partners at the Ministry of Health, as well as completed on-site logistics (fencing, seating, etc). In just a few short weeks, we'll begin treating patients at the clinic. Residents of this community currently walk many hours to seek care, and they all seem very excited to have a well-equipped clinic so close to home.
One of the initiatives we're most excited about is our Community Health Program. As we speak, a volunteer is conducting a "community needs assessment" to determine what the primary health concerns are for local families. The results of this assessment will help to shape our community health program- for example, we may focus more on post-natal care, HIV testing and treatment, or childhood nutrition. With the help of your generous donations, we'll be hiring experienced community health counselors to carry out these vital programs. We're so grateful for your support, which has a tangible impact on more than 10,000 Namibians.
We look forward to sending you messages and photographs after the official opening of the clinic!
With gratitude,
Elizabeth Sheehan
