Press Release from Cuenca, Ecuador

I am thrilled to be featured in a press release from my recent Project C.U.R.E. trip to Cuenca, Ecuador.   I am on the advisory board of directors for Project C.U.R.E. Phoenix and I have been trained and certified as a needs assessment representative for Project C.U.R.E. worldwide.

My missions to date have included Belize, Tanzania, Burkina Faso (West Africa), and now most recently Cuenca, Ecuador.  My job as an assessment representative is to insure the needs of the recipients -hospital and clinics- are met while meeting the requirements of local governments and officials.

As you can imagine the doctors and nurses are very excited by my visit as they hope to receive supplies and equipment that will help them better do their job and save lives.  While in Ecuador I met with several doctors and even the mayor.  The picture attached in this press release is of me around the table at the Hospital Municipal seated next to Dr. Patricio Luzuriago discussing the needs of their communities.

Alcaldía gestionó recursos internacionales para hospital de la Mujer y el Niño

La Alcaldía de Cuenca  gracias a la gestión realizada por la Dirección de Relaciones Externas firmó un protocolo de actuación entre la I. Municipalidad de Cuenca y la ciudad hermana de Tempe a través de la Corporación “Tempe Sister Cities”,  en el cual estas instituciones identificaron áreas de interés común para realizar actividades de cooperación internacional descentralizada. Para el efecto se han definido 5 ejes de trabajo: Salud, Educación, Cultura, Turismo y Manejo de Riesgos.

En este marco, la corporación internacional  a través de la ONG norteamericana  Project C.U.R.E. se comprometió en entregar  una donación  de  400.000 dólares, para el Hospital Municipal de la Mujer y el Niño. Los costos de traslado de insumos y equipos médicos  serán gestionados en un 100% por entidades y personas de Tempe por un valor aproximado de 25.000 dólares.
Para el cumplimiento de este acuerdo  se encuentra en la ciudad Charles Irion, miembro de la Junta Asesora de la ONG norteamericana Project C.U.R.E  para ejecutar una evaluación de las unidades de Salud municipales, en especial el Hospital Municipal de la Mujer y el Niño

La  organización Project C.U.R.E. con sede en Colorado ha sido el líder en el desarrollo de nuevas formas de permitir la organización para proporcionar la mejor calidad de donaciones de insumos y equipos posibles, así como oportunidades de voluntariado tanto nacionales como internacionales.

Project C.U.R.E. ha llegado a los más necesitados médicamente en más de 120 países de todo el mundo. La ONG internacional continúa ofreciendo salud y esperanza a sus asociados en todo el mundo.

Meeting Alice Cooper!

As you can imagine, since I've been an autograph collector for over 30 years, I'm accumulated quite the collection!  I thought it would be fun to post some of the pictures from my collection now and then!  To start off.... here is a fun one of me and Alice Cooper!  In case you don't know... Alice Cooper is an American rock singer, songwriter, and musician whose career spans more than four decades. With a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors and baby dolls, Cooper has drawn equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a grandly theatrical and violent brand of heavy metal designed to shock.  In 2011 the original Alice Cooper band was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Alice Cooper is occasionally seen by his fans around Phoenix, Arizona.  He owns a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona called Cooperstown!

Firefighter to Climb Kilimanjaro

Sandbach firefighter to climb Kilimanjaro for Firefighters Charity and North West Air Ambulance

A determined Sandbach firefighter has set his sights on climbing Africa’s highest mountain for charity.

John Brownrigg, watch manager at Sandbach Fire Station, has been an on-call firefighter for 20 years.

He will set off on his once-in-a-lifetime challenge to climb Mount Kilimanjaro on September 11 with all money raised going to the Firefighters Charity and North West Air Ambulance.

Kilimanjaro lies 205 miles south of the equator and stands on Tanzania’s northern border with Kenya.

John also needs to carry all his kit to cover the full seven days he will be there.

John said: “It’s a tough climb as Kilimanjaro is 19,340 feet above sea level, which is nearly five times the height of Snowdon and has tropical temperatures at the base to a freezing -26C at the snow-capped summit.

“I am doing this to raise money for two very good causes and would like anyone who can to please sponsor me.

“Help me to help those that help us.”

To sponsor John visit his fundraising page at uk.virginmoneygiving.com.

Good luck John!  If you need any advice, shoot me an email!  charles@charlesirion.com

Reviews Are Coming In!

Reviews are starting to roll in for Murder on Kilimanjaro!  Check out these two reviews, and order your own copy by CLICKING HERE!


"A long time fan of Charles G. Irion's novels, this final book to his series made me wanting more. As I've been to the area he writes of, his attention to details of Africa is amazingly accurate. Combined with Irion's creative, dramatic writing this is a must read. Allow yourself plenty of time! You won't be able to put this book down." - Writing in Style, Amazon.com reviewer

"I read Murder on Kilimanjaro this weekend. One of those stories where you need to keep reading. I must say the action and environmental descriptions were wonderfully written putting you in the middle of the action. You could feel the fear and the struggle to stay alive. This is what every writer wants to achieve, transporting the reader from arm chair and into the action." - Jan O'Kane, Amazon.com reviewer
