Hi,

I am participating in another medical relief and education trip with Team Broken Earth Ottawa.  I am hoping to apply the skills I gained from our trips to Port Au Prince in 2017 and 2019 this November when we travel to Azua, Dominican Republic.  Our team has a focus on Orthopedic Surgery and we will be the first team to visit this area.  

In many instances people in this area sustain broken bones, or other life-threatening injuries, and don’t have access to emergent medical care.  Our goal is to deliver medical care to these patients while also collaborating with local Health Care Professionals to share experience, knowledge and foster relationships that enrich all parties involved.

As this is our first medical relief trip to this area, we are working hard to source proper medical equipment which includes:

-pins, plates, and screws for repairing fractured bones

-sterile drapes, gowns, and gloves

-medications Anesthesia and Analgesia 

Donations to our team page, and team members, contribute towards purchasing these items in addition to our transportation and accommodation.

Please help us to reach our fundraising goals. Just click "Sponsor Me" to make a donation online. You will automatically receive a tax receipt electronically for your donation.

Thank you in advance for your generosity,

Dan
