Morocco in the summer is a very relaxing time. The high temperatures close down most activities and the people settle down for a couple months of long, sweaty days and clear starry nights filled with parties of tea, drums, and dancing; a perfect time for a needs assessment trip with Project CURE. Nine days took me and the representatives from Project CURE, Jason
Corely, through the provinces of Tata, Tiznit, and Boulmane. We were able to see and assess clinics and meet with both provincial and national officials from the Ministry of Health. Thank you so much; this needs assessment could not have been possible without your continuous support and encouragement. I am happy to report that the needs assessment was very successful and we are now moving toward the second phase of the project; raising the money to ship our medical supplies to Morocco.
The Peace Corps and Ministry of Health in Morocco are working together to improve healthcare in Morocco. I would like to call your attention to a series of Ministry of Health initiatives aimed at increasing the quality of healthcare in rural Morocco. By the year 2012 the Ministry of Health would like to have 50% of women receive at least one prenatal visit during their pregnancy, 80% of women to be attended by health professional when giving birth, and 90% of women to have at least one postnatal visit. This project, which has been facilitated by Peace Corps Volunteers, is in conjunction with these Ministry of Health initiatives. This donation from Project CURE will be specifically addressing the issues of maternal and child care as well as healthcare for the most remote populations.
I would like to thank you again for all your support thus far. Without your help this project would not be happening. Now that the project to deliver donation medical supplies from Project CURE to rural Morocco has begun, we have approximately 20,000 dollars per container to raise from corporate and non-profit organizations to cover the transportation of the supplies. I will not be soliciting help from individuals, although any and all donations are welcome. I will be looking for assistance from organizations; Rotary Clubs, Soroptimist groups, businesses and any other international humanitarian trust organizations that may be able to assist.
So now, I am not asking for donations, I am looking for ideas, contacts, and leads in organizations that I can pursue to complete this project to bring essential medical supplies to rural Morocco. This plea could be compared to a group brainstorming session. The people of Morocco need medical supplies, Project CURE has them, we need to complete the deal and get them there. So please pass on any and all information that you think may help me complete this humanitarian mission. I appreciate your continued support and I look forward to hearing from you.
Happy in Morocco
