Phil-Am Lion's Club of Arizona

On June 21, 2014 the Phoenix Phil-Am Lions Club will hold its annual Induction and Installation Ball at the Hilton Phoenix Airport.  This undertaking is partly a fundraising event to support the club's signature project - Medical Mission.  The upcoming one in 2015 would be the 11th betwen the Philippines and Mexico missions.  Last year we netted over $2000 and the celbration was attneded by family friends, supporters and cignitaries.  We were able to do the following with the funds: 223 cataract operations, 67 pterygiums, dispensed 9000 corrective glasses, identified school children with vision problems and screened over 300 patients for diabetes.

This year we're even committed to making a bigger success and I am hoping you will help.  The aim is to raise about $5000 and the funds will be used for the cataract and medical mission on February 15-20, 2015 in Zambales, Philippines.  The club always breaks its record and this tiime we hope to be able to help 250 blinded patients because of cataract.

In reciprocation to your kind favor, we will put your pictures, greetings and advertisements in the club's souvenir program.  We will be issuing a donation receipt for the entire amount as requested.  Raising funds for such a noble cause cannot be possible without your generous support and sponsorship.

Project C.U.R.E. Trip to Nicaragua

Hi everyone!  I am thrilled to report in on my current assessment mission with Project C.U.R.E.  I am in Nicaragua and it has been an amazing week!  The PhilanthroTravel Adventure to Nicaragua has been an opportunity to experience the full cycle of the C.U.R.E. Coffee project in action.

The Coffee Project was created in an effort to improve the lives of the farming communities where they source their coffee beans in partnership with Direct Trade farmers.  When a bag of C.U.R.E. Coffee is purchased, $3 of each purchased bag goes to provide medical relief to the same villages and surrounding communities where the coffee beans for bags of Boca Java's C.U.R.E. Coffee are grown.

My itinerary has been  very exciting and full.  I've met with esteemed Nicaraguan dignitaries to hear first hand about their challenges and to understand their vision for their country.  I have assisted with C.U.R.E. clinic doctors and nurses on the coffee farm as they cared for injured and ill farmers and their families.  I'm picked coffee beans and explored the farm grounds, I can't wait to be part of a celebratory event to thank us for our efforts and my favorite part so far was delivering Project C.U.R.E. care kits to local children.

Here are a few pictures for you from my week so far, I can't wait to share more when I return!
