Did you ever want to be a part of one of Oprah's projects? Well here's your chance. Gleaning for the World (web) is about to send one of their mobile medical clinics to Kenya.
That unit can help 40,000 people get the medical care they otherwise wouldn't receive. But first Gleaning needs to raise money to get it supplied with the appropriate medical items. This is where you come in.
Rev. Ron Davidson, Gleaning for the World - "We need donations. At least another $20,000 to $30,000 to get all the supplies into Kenya to work with this. We're going to provide more than one million dollars worth of medical supplies so we can support this until for the people that have been in the middle of a civil war basically."
The medical mobile unit could last in Kenya for up to 5 years. Your first chance to tour the unit will be April 6th at E.C. Glass High School. Click here if you want to make a donation to Gleaning for the World.
