Do you have Medical, Dental or Optometry training?
Are you a qualified physiotherapist, occupational therapist, midwife, pharmacist, or have other medical training?
Have you thought about using your skills on a short term mission trip?
If yes then Missionary Ventures Great Britain (MVGB) would like to hear from you.
From 12th - 16th April 2008, MVGB are sending an Optometry team to Guatemala. Missionary Ventures has established a general medical clinic to serve the people of rural Nebaj, who have limited access to health care. This will be the first ever Optometry team to visit and provide eye care. They are looking for optometrists to provide eye examinations and prescribe donated spectacles and medication. Approx cost £1,400 - £1,500 (TBC). All team members need to raise thier own funds.
From June 17th - 28th 2008, MVGB are sending a general medical team to work in the Gwembe Vally in Zambia. This follows a successful mini medical team who have just returned from a combined mission. There is a need for qualified medical staff to work alongside the two nurses based at Longezia mission base in Sinazongwe, an area that is home to a great number of rural poor. Team members will be holding clinics on the base and in the surrounding villages, providing the local Tonga people with consultation, treatment and health/nutrition advice. Approx cost £1,250 - £1,350 (TBC). All team members need to raise their own funds.
In Spring 2009, there will be an optometry team going out to the Sinazongwe region of Zambia. This will be the first optometry team to visit this area and it will be wonderful to see a tam of practitioners meeting the needs of the Tonga people providing eye examinations and prescribing donated spectacles and medication
