$10 Parasite Medications for 12 children This gift allows us to buy medications to treat 12 children in Ecuador for parasites through our Health Care Volunteer Vacation program. Parasites are the most common problem for our patients in highland Ecuador and prevent them from eating and growing properly. The one-pill treatment helps them develop healthily and live without constant pain.
$25 Medications to treat a common stomach bacteria for 3 patients This gift allows us to buy medications to treat 3 people in Ecuador for h. pylori through our Health Care Volunteer Vacation program. H. pylori is a bacteria causing serious stomach infections that develop into stomach cancer, and its incidence in some parts of highland Ecuador can be as much as 80%. Patients must take a regimen of four different medications to treat the infection, but after they do they feel much better and reduce their risk of stomach cancer.
$35 Fruit trees for an orchard This gift allows us to plant fruit trees in Mali and provide protection for them as well as basic tools to help their caretakers ensure their success. Fruit trees provide shade, mitigate the advance of the desert, and, of course, provide food that enhances villagers' nutrition. Some trees, such as papayas and bananas, grow so fast they will be producing fruit within one year. Many villages and schools want to create and expand orchards.
$100 School books and uniforms for one student This gift allows us to provide the uniforms and books that an Ecuadorian secondary school student needs to continue her or his education for one year. Public schools in highland Ecuador do not charge tuition, but the many other required costs, such as uniforms and school supplies make it impossible for many children to attend school beyond sixth grade. This gift will help one student achieve his or her dreams.
$300 Full scholarship for secondary school This gift allows us to provide a complete scholarship for an Ecuadorian secondary school student for one year. Public schools in highland Ecuador do not charge tuition, but the many other required costs, such as uniforms, books and supplies, and transportation, make it impossible for many children to attend school beyond sixth grade. This gift will help one student achieve his or her dreams.
$600 University scholarship This gift allows us to provide the university fees that one student in highland Ecuador needs to study at an institution of higher education for one year. Many bright students are unable to pursue higher education because they lack the economic resources and must work to help provide for their family’s needs. This gift will help one student achieve his or her dreams of becoming a professional and making a difference in his or her community.
