After 21 Journeys of Compassion to 13 nations, it is time to leverage our experience in primary healthcare partnership. A team including a doctor, a pharmacologist, several nurses and nurse practioners will be formulating our strategy over the next few months.
As part of this initiative, we are sending the founder of our mobile medical clinics, Heidi Dunbar, along with fellow nurse practioner Kate Vanwely, to meet our medical coordinator Heather Brasset in Uganda. There they will work with one of our most capable national partners, Robert Mponye, to lay out a plan for the next year for his villages. (From there they will all be joining our Journey of Compassion team in Burundi and do the same thing with Dr. Aline.)
Heidi and Kate received free flights to South Africa through a granting process, and are contributing their own time and money for the Burundi Journey of Compassion. But for the critical two weeks in Uganda, they need $2,000 each for flights, $500 each for food and accommodation, and $2,000 to start medical projects.
Please consider partnering with them for long-term change. You can read their proposal below, and to receive updates as they unfold, click follow at the bottom of this page.

Permalink Update from Steve Stewart on October 5, 2010 at 12:26pm I want to draw you attention a uniquely important project that will help take Impact Nations to the next level of effectiveness in profound transformation projects in Africa. Heidi Dunbar and Kate Vanwely have been with us from the beginning and are the ones who laid the medical foundation for what Impact Nations has done to treat over 30,000 people in the last 6 years.
Investing in this project will lead to a multiplication of local health trainers, establishing a permanent clinic in Uganda, and working with the churches, governments and health officials to effectively treat those who have not had access to medical treatment for years.
Invest in Heidi & Kate. Invest in untold thousands of lives.
