Itinerary.....Again!!

I received my itinerary today. We will be leaving Portland April 29th, arriving in Cambodia around 10 am May 1st.....Thats a lot of flying and a whole lotta chemical assistance.....

Team Meeting

March 10th we will be having a team meeting up in Portland so that we can meet each other and learn a little more about this mission we are about to embark on. :o)

Name Change

Northwest Medical Teams, the Portland-based organization that provides free medical care throughout the world, primarily in emergency conditions, is now call Medical Teams International.

Bas Vanderzalm, president of the organization, said in a statement the name change reflects the fact "we are becoming a national and global organization. People from all 50 states and many other countries now contribute to our work and serve as volunteers in our programs. The use of 'Northwest' in our current name often confuses people in areas where we work and limits our ability to attract support from those who live outside the Pacific Northwest."
"We considered many other names but selected Medical Teams International because it clearly expresses what we do and communicates that we are not changing our programs, our values or our mission to those affected by disaster, conflict and poverty," he added.

Spring Team!

The team has been put together! We are tentatively scheduled to leave April 28th so that way we can be in country there and start the clinic on the 1st of May. Let the countdown begin. Many Blessings ~M
