Clothing and Money Donation in Cali, Colombia
While visiting Cali, Colombia for a Project C.U.R.E. Phoenix
medical assessment at a new ICU wing in Buenaventura, I took the time
to visit a local school. I brought over 50 pounds of clothing with me
from the United States for the children there. They are in a very poor
area and appreciated the donation very much.

Project C.U.R.E. Assessment in Bolivia
Every time I do an medical assessment for Project C.U.R.E. in a foreign country I'm reminded again and again how lucky we all are here in the United States. If we need an appointment to see the doctor, we call them up on the phone, and schedule our appointment, done in five minutes or less. In Bolivia, town folk wait in line for hours just to make an appointment to see the doctor. Hours. They still have to come back and wait in line again later on the day and time of their appointment.
We think our emergency waiting rooms are crowded? They are nothing compared to the clinic in Bolivia I visited. 10 or move people deep, people wait hours just to be seen. If they had an emergency in the waiting room, chances are, they may not make it. It's awful, it's sad, and it makes me want to help.
Project C.U.R.E. sends me to these hospitals and clinics all around the world so that I can help determine what medical supplies they need. To find out what we can do to try and make these conditions a little bit better. I'm lucky to be involved in such an amazing institution that wants to make things better.
Here are some photos from my visit to their clinic.

Books for Children in Bolivia
On my way to visit a school in Colombia, I made a quick pit stop at a market. I bought over 200 little notebooks to bring to the children. They loved them!

Project C.U.R.E. Trip to Bolivia May 2014
I just returned from Santa Cruz,
Bolivia where I did a medical assessment for Project C.U.R.E. While
there, I enjoyed speaking to the families of many children at two
different schools. I spoke to them about Project C.U.R.E. and what we
do. Before I left for Bolivia, I accumulated over 40 pounds of clothing
for the children there. The clothing was sorted by teachers at the
school and passed out to the poorest of the families. I enjoyed
watching them sort through the clothing. They were very excited! For

Centre Hospitalier C.E.A.C. Sinai - Boma, DRC
I
went to the Deomocratic Republic of the Congo, Boma in order to do a
medical assessment for Project C.U.R.E for a hospital there. Before you
look at these pictures - picture your own local hospital in your mind.
We don't always realize how truly
blessed we are to live here in the US. The poverty and need that I've
seen is astounding. We get so used to living in our own bubble that we
fail to see what is around us. Take a look at these photos and for more
information about how you can help, please visit www.projectcure.org.
