From our Spring 2024 Team Insider
We’re thrilled to share a significant improvement in for mission teams that has already shown tremendous benefits: the consolidation of medication shipments to Honduras.
By sending all teams’ medications together in a unified shipment, we’ve been able to decrease issues with customs and enhance the impact of our healthcare missions.
In January, several dedicated volunteers joined our clinic staff in La Ceiba to kick off this initiative. Together, they began packing medications for the year’s missions. Additionally, an old container was repurposed into a climate-controlled storage unit, ensuring the stability, efficacy, and safety of all medications. Now, when each team arrives, their medications are ready and waiting for them, reducing stress and logistical hurdles.
The transition hasn’t been without its challenges, but the commitment and adaptability of everyone involved have been remarkable. We’ve worked together to overcome initial glitches, making travel easier for mission teams and ensuring adequate medication availability.
Interested in volunteering to help with this ongoing project? Volunteers are needed to help source medications, get donations for supplies, and maybe even go on a “packing mission” trip next year. Give us a call at 847-772-0077 or email [email protected] for more information.
