On Tuesday I was invited to a meeting of the Global Health Initiative (that's the name they have adopted) group at Dana-Farber. About a dozen people were in attendance, almost all of whom had heard of the PDML book fundraising effort(!) As it's a really new program we're the only donor group specifically dedicated to them, so our little project is appreciated however small the amount we raise.
One of the people present was a medical resident from Rwanda who's getting training at Dana-Farber. I don't even want to think about getting cancer in Rwanda... or the steep road ahead for this young physician but my hat's off to him. All in all it was a very encouraging (possibly even inspiring) meeting. It reaffirms my belief that dumping NCCF/CureSearch was the right thing to do: If there's ever an issue or problem with our current charity beneficiary I can go two miles down the road and knock on Dr. Carlos's door at a moment's notice. Good people. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
