Thanks to God's abundant provision and perfect timing, a 40-foot container, completely stuffed with medical equipment, medicines, layettes, and VBS supplies is on a ship headed for Burundi. This phase of the project would never have been completed without the generosity and obedience of the people of EFC-MAYM.
The second phase of the container project will happen in mid-July. The container will arrive in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania and then be transported by truck to Kibimba. Three of our board members, David & Mae Kellum and Dick Long will be traveling to Burundi to supervise and assist with preparations for the container’s arrival. This will include construction of a concrete pad for the container to sit on for future storage use, as well as re-wiring some of the hospital facility to accommodate the equipment when it is installed. They will depart from Wichita, KS on July 17.
On July 26, several more people from our board who have medical knowledge will be going to Burundi to help with unpacking, setup and organization of the equipment and supplies. These include Fran Sigley and her son Owen, Twila Flowers, and Willard & Doris Ferguson. They will spend several days ensuring that everything is properly stored, helping to install and train the hospital staff on the equipment, and making sure that everything we send will be used effectively to increase the impact of the hospital in the area.
You can watch this blog for news from Kibimba Hospital as the container arrives and is opened and unpacked. It will be so wonderful to see the excitement & celebration as the people there see what God has provided through the generosity of His people in the States.
