Malawi Trip Update on Donations and Needs: (from Ginnie Stevens, WNC Presbytery)
"We have just returned from visiting the Nkhoma Hospital. We had brought 3, 50 lb boxes of medical supplies and a check for $ 4,500.00. But much more is needed. Michael told us that they have a bank loan of $ 100,000.00 to keep operations going. We need to make this hospital a matter of prayer, it is doing good things for a lot of people, with nothing to work with--all medical staff are working long hours with little in the way of medical supplies and medications....it is no wonder they are stretched to the limit...."
First, let me report that $1,176 specifically designated for the children's examination room! The doctors at Grace Hosp
ital have come up with a considerable amount of rocephin and other high-end drugs for children. The e-ray apron that Barbara requested has been donated. We've got lots of infant caps, various items on Barbara's wish list and several thousand dollars that will be sent to the hospital, some for specific items (like oxygen splitters and oxygenator repairs, to help with staff housing etc.) and more that is for general use (perhaps to pay off the pension debt. (See below.) So once again, folks have reached out in incredible ways.
Here is a report from a member of a mission team from the Southwest (OK, I believe), who was at Nkhoma Hospital a couple weeks ago.
