In the poor rural villages of the developing world, the most basic of health clinics are scarce. Often, providing a clean environment for childbirth, or treating the most basic illnesses and injuries are close to impossible.
In the communities where Tia works, most family homes have dirt floors and no doors or windows. A daily struggle to raise enough food using unmechanized farm tools just to feed the family occupies much of their time. Village farm families live up to a twelve hour walks from the nearest hospital and vehicles are nonexistent. Women still die in child birth and young children are lost to diseases compounded by undernourishment.
The lack of essential services can mean the difference between life and death. Laura’s organization does a yeoman’s job here in Jalisco and around the world.
Please feel free to invite your friends to hear this wonderful presentation.
The presentation will take place at Andales on the Bay, across from Mama Dolores and next to Blu Salon and Spa, on Tuesday morning, December 9th, 2008 from 9 to 9:45 am. Please pass this information on to your friends and colleagues. Complimentary coffee and pastries will be served!
Please RSVP by email to gary(at)greenandassociates.org or call Gary Green at 044-322-150-7214 or Jim Boland at (322) 222-2866.
Presentation hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Puerto Vallarta
