Today is the day that most of the mission participants from Kansas City set out for Katmandu and points beyond! The journey of 10000 miles really does begin with a single step and thanks to everyone leaving KC for the first step of the journey – to Houston to catch the flight to Singapore via Moscow.
They will be joined by others leaving other parts of the US and the World to join the mission that gets going next week.
Well, most of the team are on their way to Nepal now, and some are already there! There is a lot to prepare before the airport run to make the missions go smoothly of course and the days and weeks leading up to departure have been very busy.
Here are some photos from David and Rachel (plus some helpers!) from their packing efforts!
The teams will shortly be gathering in Nepal for the 2011 mission but the pre-screening and preparatory work has been underway for a while now. Here are some photos of the prescreening health camp held earlier this month:
We are nearly there! After many, many months of planning, the medical mission to Nepal (specifically Pokhara and Mustang) is underway!
Although most of the team do not leave Kansas City until October 28th, several advance members are already on their way and so the effort has really begun!
Stay tuned to this site for the latest updateson the last mimute preparations and (hopefully, internet permitting!) updates on a day by day basis from the two mission bases themselves.
We are excited to be able to visit this wonderful country and looking forward to being of service there. THANK YOU to all who are travelling, and to those whose support and fundraising efforts make this mission possible!
Last October was the second annual Golf Classic in what has become the major fundraiser for the Foundation.
Thank you to everyone who helped organize the event, played in the tournament, joined us for dinner and most importantly, those who contributed to making the Golf classic such a successful event.
It always takes a little time to fully collate and analyze the total benefits since there are always expenses to be considered and final accounting to be done. The final figures are in and indicate that the event was able to raise a net amount of just under $60,000. This is a tremendous achievement that will go a long way to ensuring we are able to help those in need in 2011 and beyond.
Thank You again to all involved and we look forward to seeing you back at Loch Lloyd in 2011!
