Thank you for visiting! Here it is -we leave on Aug 5th!
Please consider joining our team as a fundraiser or donate to help us buy an ambulance for the Maasai.
Last spring, we visited a Maasai village in Kenya at the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We took medical supplies donated by my Orthopaedic Surgery group at UCSD and I volunteered at the clinic to help set up their trauma care. As it happened, the village physician was away, and I had to run the clinic with Vivian, their nurse extraordinaire. What a quick way to remember all the medical training for an orthopaedic surgeon!
I am moved by the Maasai people’s positivity and appreciation for even the smallest blessings, despite their very harsh living conditions. Some patients walk over 60 miles to get to the clinic, often with their children in tow. The gravely ill have no way to get to the clinic unless they are carried by family members. Infections, trauma and pregnancy issues are the most common reason for clinic visits. Unfortunately, their doctor, even with his exceptional dedication and training, has no way of getting to his patients in time.
These are good people, and I felt so happy being among them, helping them with some of their challenges, and especially having the opportunity to help build something from ground up. This is your chance to contribute. Help us buy and ambulance for the village - you will be saving lives and making a huge long term contribution for the development of health services in this community.
Some of my friends from around the world are joining us to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro to benefit MWCT to raise funds for this ambulance. A priest, a surfer, a lung transplant surgeon, an engineer, an enviromentalist and a medical doctor – can you spot them in the pictures?
You could choose to support our ambulance project, or donate toward an Xray machine, medical supplies, or other equipment – plant a seed and watch it grow!
