The small town of Chincha Baja, receives water up until about 1pm each afternoon. Families gather water in containers to manage throughout the rest of the day. The purchase of a 600 liter water storage tank for the center was of primary importance for them and we were happy to provide that. In addition, we bought an E-stim therapy machine, a second treatment table, a cabinet for storage, desk, bookcase, various developmental puzzles and toys, a therapy mat, and office supplies along with a guitar, drum and wind instruments for them to begin music therapy.
And thanks to MedShare,
I arrived with exercise equipment for shoulder, ankle and knee rehabilitation, braces, and orthopedic supplies for the center and diabetic testing equipment, a blood pressure monitor, and emergency splints which I delivered to the local health clinic.

Spring is almost here and our teacher Victor at the Special Ed. Unit is SCHOOL VAN shopping with our dear friend Dennis of Kwetu Tours. We are looking to complete this purchase some time in March....so look for photos in our next newsletter. Thanks to all of you who responded to the matching challenge grant we received at Christmas, this dream will soon be a reality!
