Re: Helping Abroad
Dec 28, 2007

Thank you Dr. Conway for your commitment in answering my questions. All those are great ideas to help abroad if this can be put to practice. Thats is what is needed to help those people and as you say due to other commitments in life, people can always send medication, other useful supplies to reach to the needy people. Do you have a website of Vision, the one you said it makes sure things get to the right place? Also what you mentioned about sending used medications is very important, how can we do this? Anyway if you do celebrate Xmas, i wish you a Happy one & Prosperous New Year. God Bless.

Response from Dr. Conway

The website is worldvision.com. This year, instead of exchanging gifts, our clinic chose to supply two medical clinics in the developing world (details on the website). As for used meds, it is simply a matter of finding a clinic (such as the one we work with in Guyana) and working out the details on an individual basis.
