Newsworthy

We here at the MEDICO offices have been preparing the latest edition of our Update - a bi-annual newsletter sharing articles, photos, and information about our efforts in humanitarian efforts in Central America. The assembling of the articles that make up the newsletter is wonderful yet difficult process. There are just so many worthy stories to tell and a limited amount of space available.

This next edition is going 'to press' this week and we anticipate you'll have access to it within the next several weeks. In this edition you'll find many heart-warming stories of medical miracles that have occurred through our short term field team efforts, stories about individual cases that have had a deep impact on the volunteers and donors that participate. We're sure you'll be deeply touched by this edition. A new opportunity has been made available in this next Update edition for publication sponsorship. As we are working hard to stretch each donor dollar we are aware of the increasing costs of publishing these newsletters. We've taken this opportunity to create partnerships with individuals and/or organizations that would being willing to share in the expense of print publications. The greatest benefit of publication sponsorship is in enabling MEDICO to spend these dollars on more medicines and supplies which directly benefit the people we serve. A benefit for the sponsoring person or organization is being identified to some 3,000 recipients world wide through this publication as a partner to MEDICO sharing in the same vision.

There are quite a few new things 'in the pot' for MEDICO over the coming weeks and months. We're in the midst of refreshing our website, of developing an e-newsletter, wrapping up a pharmacy protocol, completing our formulary, printing some new brochures, and quite a few other things. In addition to all the tools and information we're sharing with the world, we're continually in search of donors with a global perspective. There are many friends living in Central America who are counting on the services we provide and we can only do this through the combined efforts and interests of our friends and families. Very exciting times in the offices here as we are reaching out for others.
