One of Portland’s most successful private practices, Everywoman’s Health, sent two surgeons to assist with the surgeries in Ethiopia. Owners Dr. Philippa Ribbink and Dr. Kim Suriano took time from their busy schedules to provide care to the women in Ethiopia. Their partners back home had to fill in during their absence, so appreciation goes to the whole practice for assisting with this incredibly important work.
Read Dr. Philippa Ribbink’s first hand account on her blog.

On a side trip to an outer clinic, we were able to see a typical school house. We were astonished to see that children and young adults, in their urgent desire to be educated, had to do their school work on broken desks.
We would love to find a school in the US who would consider “adopting” this school. Funds could be raised to replace the desks, and badly needed supplies could be purchased for the students.
Any takers?
