On November 8 we will be traveling to Guatemala with a medical anddental group as well as a small construction team. We will work on an addition to a small medical clinic in San Antonio and we will be traveling to several remote villages around Mazatenango to provide desperately needed medical and dental care to the people there. We are reaching out to the congregations of our team members as well as the community at large to help supply us with the things we will need to provide care. We hope to fill 30 large duffle bag with medicine and other supplies. If you feel called to help support this humanitarian mission we would welcome your donations of money or any of the following supplies:
* Ziplocs (snack, sandwich, and gallon size) * Bandaids and gauze pads; Ace wraps * Advil (or generic), tablets or liquid * Tylenol (or generic), tablets or liquid * Aspirin * Dimetapp * Cough syrup (adult or children) * Benadryl (or generic), tablets or liquid * Sudafed (or generic) * Visine eye drops * Nasal spray * Throat lozenges * Tums and Rolaids * Simethicone (eg. Gas-X, Phazyme) * Mylanta or Maalox * Preparation H * Pepto-Bismol (tablets) * Colace, Fibercon, Senekot, or other laxatives * Antibiotic ointment (eg. Bacitracin, Neosporin) * Diaper rash cream * Hydrocortisone cream * Hotel-size toiletries (especially soaps, lotions) * Vitamins for adults and children * Toothbrushes/toothpaste
We will also need a large supply of prescription medications. If you are a physician and are able to donate any prescription medications or other critical items (blood pressure cuffs, glucometer, otoscopes, etc.) you would be assisting us greatly. Please contact team leaders Scott and Jessica Patton at iapq1990@comcast.net for details about what types of donations we need.
