Meet Babcock University

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share feedback we received from Babcock University in Nigeria. We are working with them to ship several containers during 2011.

Babcock University is a private Christian co-educational Nigerian University located between Igadan & Lagos.

Isaac Osuntade from Babcock University provided wonderful pictures from a recent container unloading.

You can see the students unloading 1 of 2 containers we shipped.

These are just a few of the medical equipment & supplies to be used in the new medical school

Thanks to our donors and volunteers were are able to connect those who have with those who hope.

Medical Bridges sends its heartfelt condolences to the people of Japan. Medical Bridges is not a first responder; however once a team or organization knows what is needed and what is allowed into the country. Medical Bridges stands ready and prepared to assist in any way it can.

Volunteers pack supplies to help the homeless

Medical Bridges' volunteers packed mini personal hygiene kits to donate to Houston's homeless men and women. Last Wednesday, HPD Officers from the Homeless Outreach Team picked up and distributed the kits as well as other supplies.

Real 4 Christ hosts a clinic day in Masai Corner, Kenya

Real 4 Christ Ministries, our mission partner shared their recent experience in Kenya.

On December 23, 2010 we packed our truck with the medical supplies and tools that were donated by Medical Bridges and drove a couple hours into the remote village of Masai Corner located on the coast of Kenya, East Africa. There is no medical clinic or hospital within a 3 hour walk for the people who live at Masai Corner so as we began our clinic set up, I was so thankful to have the blood pressure monitor, stethoscopes, otoscopes, & thermometers to make our clinic day a success. We saw over 70 people that day and many of them received treatments as a result of being able to properly access their conditions. Real 4 Christ Ministries sincerely appreciates you partnering with us to experience making a difference in the lives of the Kenyan people.

God Bless You in the New Year,
Lisa Moore
Missionary Nurse to Kenya, East Africa
