Howdy #Bucs and Friends,
Our friends with the Memphis Mission of Mercy are in need of volunteers for their First Annual Philippines Festival on August 12, 2023 to raise funds for our upcoming work in the Philippines in October of this year and February of next.
A message from representative, Nia Zalamea, MD FACS, can be found below with a link on how to sign-up after responding within this platform. Responding within this platform assure that your accrued service hours are recorded within your profile, but you will still need to register via the link below as well; thank you in advance!
"We aim to serve 2000 or more patients in the town of Tayabas this October with both surgery and clinic. In February 2024, we will serve the community of Carmona, where we have committed to annually and have a home base hospital, in order to serve the needs of the poor communities in and around Manila.
We invite any of your interested students to join us on August 12 for this festival in any capacity: promotion, food serving, registration, runner, first aid, security, etc. The sign up is here and we are happy to complete any needed documentation for service hours!"
