Hello!
I'd like to share with you a medical mission trip that I am going to take with Labors of Love that will hopefully be a life changing
experience for the people I come in contact with, as well as myself.
Labors of Love is an educational based organization dedicated to opening a dialog with medical professionals across the globe
to provide a channel for “knowledge exchange” as well as provide much needed medical services through international medical
missions. The primary goals of Labors of Love are to:
1- Exchange medical information and practices
2- Educate the local populace about basic preventive healthcare
3- Provide much needed medical supplies and treatment to people who may lack access to adequate healthcare.
May 4, 2014- May 14, 2014 Labors of Love will be embarking on a medical mission trip to Lagos Nigeria and we need your
support.
A little background information about Lagos
Lagos is the largest city in Nigeria and the largest in sub-Saharan Africa. The best health care in Nigeria is extremely limited and
usually only available in private medical facilities. However, in some cases even these facilities typically fail to meet U.S.
standards. The quality of government medical facilities is unacceptable by U.S. standards; though, the government is committed
to resuscitating its health care through systematic funding and revitalization (US Embassy-Nigeria website). Due to this fact,
mission organizations like Labors of Love help bridge the gap by providing access to healthcare to those who need it most
across the world.
Working together with community organizations, local hospitals and local NGOs such as: the Redeemed Christian Church,
Daughters of Destiny and Holy Trinity Hospital, Labors of Love will bring much needed preventive health screening to various
communities in Lagos Nigeria. Currently we have 10 volunteers from three states in the USA and 2 volunteers from the
United Kingdom who will be dedicating their time and skills towards making this mission trip a successful and
meaningful effort. Financial donations to this mission will increase the impact we are able to have on those communities and
will be greatly appreciated. Tax-deductable donations can be made through our website at www.lolmission.org or mailed to:
Labors of Love Mission
PO Box 1768
Bentonville, AR 72712
When making donations please remember to mention my name. If financial donations are not feasible, please see attached our
list of much needed supplies for this mission trip. Please know that any contribution that you can make towards this important
effort at this time is appreciated and will be useful.
