It is widely agreed at Physicians for Peace that our unsung hero is Ken Hudson, the man who single-handedly manages our Gifts in Kind program. Over the past weeks, he has been particularly busy putting together containers of medical supplies for several countries, among them Haiti.
The container to Haiti will contain life-saving medicines as well as valuable equipment for doctors and clinics in this impoverished part of the world. Dr. Norman Krell, a Virginia ophthalmologist, donated all the equipment from his practice upon his retirement. New Eyes for the Needy donated 37,000 pairs of eyeglasses and frames. Mylan Pharmaceuticals donated a variety of important medicines. The Church of the Holy Family in Virginia Beach, Virginia, also gave several pieces of important equipment for use in a clinic run by Partners in Health.
We are grateful to all of these donors, who share with us the committment to improving health care resources in the developing world. We are also grateful to Ken for his expertise and dedication in pulling it all together and making it happen. But he can’t do it without your help. Your donations give him the resources he needs to make sure these urgently needed supplies get delivered to the doctors and patients who are waiting for them. Consider making a contribution to Physicians for Peace today to support this effort. Donate now.
