Nursing supplies delivered! Hugh carried one of the new medical mannequins and two sets of surgical instruments to Carmen Pampa last week. The nursing department was delighted and the Bishop was intrigued. Many thanks to all who make this work possible. You are appreciated.

We exceeded our goal!!! We are pleased to announce that the response to our appeal for the nursing program exceeded the target and the matching donors upped the match, so all donations are doubled. We raised just under $13,000, all of which will be matched. We look forward to enhancing the teaching materials available to the many hardworking nursing students in Carmen Pampa. We thank everyone that helped with this effort and all who support us in many ways throughout the year.

Nursing students in their lab. If you have not yet had a chance to pitch in and are so inclined, we have only one day left to get our $10,000 match for much needed training equipment and implements for the 400 nursing students at the UAC- Carmen Pampa. Any help you can give, in any amount is much appreciated. To donate please click here: https://carmenpampafund.org/nursing-department-fundraiser/ .

First, let us thank the generous donors that have helped us get more than half way there! Second, we still have opportunities to leverage the $10,000 match offer in support of the nursing program with much needed training equipment. If you are able to help get it over the finish line, please click on the following link: https://carmenpampafund.org/nursing-department-fundraiser/.

Even while in school, these students reach out to communities and are engaged in changing lives and health outcomes. In addition to rotations of practicums at hospitals and clinics, nursing students from Carmen Pampa also provide service and educational outreach to people in the surrounding communities.
