In May 2008 the scouting trip to Cambodia was completed by three Peacework veterans: Regan Buzzelli, Angus Anderson, and Pam Burwell. The photos in this album depict the the village where we will work, some of our future patients, followed by photos from Angkor Wat. The inaugural project will be in January 2009, when we will serve seventeen villages from the unique location in a pagoda in the Takeo District.
These photos depict our project in Ghana, W. Africa in March, 2007. You will see the health education lectures, the medical screening exams, the pharmacy work, and the ceremony in the village of Bohenekrom that installed the new "Queen of Development""!
Peacework Medical's first impressions of Ghana in 2006. These photos are the extent of what volunteers had seen of this new project before accepting the adventure. The following year the first set of clinics was a success.
Peacework Medical's original clinic in the northern region of Honduras is shown in these photos. Our efforts there since 2001 have resulted in wonderful relationships with our Honduran colleagues, friends, and patients.
Our Danli project is in the southern part of Honduras near the Nicaraguan border. We began working there in 2006. We have developed a commitment in the "carbonetta", which is the community of over a hundred families who live in the city's refuse dump. We also serve the city's old folks' home and the national prison before heading into the mountains for our rural work. The project is being reset in 2008 to better serve those who need us most in this region.
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the US Gulf Coast. Many medical professionals and others did not hesitate to help. These photos show the havoc and the grief from an eye witness.
The following photos were taken in May, 2006 in Calcutta and in a village near Bariupur, West Bengal. There is much need for our work in India, and there is hope for a project some time in the future.
