I shed tears of joy and cannot express how necessary the donated goods are to the people of Burundi. There were some hurdles along the process of getting the container shipped over here but we succeeded. Thank you all. There is lots of work yet to be done, but I’m grateful for all you who have chosen to walk this path with me – a path of making a better change for others in need. Thanks once again.

It is with a profound sense of joy and eternal gratitude that I write this letter to inform you of the arrival of the Medical Supplies shipped to my community, Mbutu in Aboh Mbaise LGA, Imo State, Nigeria.

The entire community, was agog with excitement, astonishment and thankful that they were around to witness this tremendous event unfold. The arrival of the container in Mbutu was quite memorable. Our thanks are boundless.

Thank-you for your generous donation of approximately 500 pounds of medical supplies. The ten suitcases were taken as extra humanitarian aide pieces of luggage by ten of the participants. We used the first rate first aid kit you sent along and also conducted hygiene classes on hand washing and prevention of dental caries. All of the supplies were delivered to Agua Negra. The two suitcases donated were also given to them for storage purposes.

The medical supplies are a godsend and truly appreciated. Thank you again for all of your support. Together we can all make a difference.

I believe that gratitude should go to members of IHC who willingly give their time to collect medical equipment and generously donate them to help fellow human beings in far away countries that they do not know and may never know or meet. That is kindness and nobility at its best. On behalf of the many patients that will benefit from your donation, thank you.

I am back from Tanzania where I visited the Karatu Lutheran Hospital. Of course, it is lacking a lot of things but they certainly do their best with what they have. Thanks to you and the volunteers at the warehouse; they packed my suitcase absolutely full and knew what to put in there!

What a learning and growing experience it was for all of us! The people were very grateful and gracious hosts and shared what little they have with the volunteers. Although there is desperate poverty there is a richness of loving families. They also gratefully received the gifts from International Hope. Our group sincerely wants to thank all the volunteers at International Hope who make these much needed medical supplies available to these very needy people.

The work here has reminded me just how valuable all the isopropyl, hydrogen peroxide, and Epsom salts were — not to mention all the other supplies. Today, one of the younger missionaries was soaking his foot in a hot bath made from one of the last of the boxes of Epsom salt. He had a nail go right through his shoe and into his foot more than an inch. He is thankful for good supplies. Thank you so very much for your help. God is so very good to us.
