Dear John,

I'm an author/Spanish teacher just finishing up a pocket-size guide to help
medical personnel communicate with Spanish speaking patients. This guide will
be pocketsized, 4 X 6, approx 200 pages, all phontic easy Spanish. It is NOT
meant to replace an interpreter/translator but to offer comfort, converation
etc. This book "Ahora Hablo Medical Edition, $9.95, is the 2nd in a series I'm
wriitng to make Spanish eaiser for English speakers. The first book in the
series ( for travelers) has been very well received. See reviews on my website
at www.ahorahablo.com. ( I offer discounts to large groups)

Thanks!

Meg Graham

critical need for medical people in Honduras for the planned upcoming medical
mission. IHS (International Health Services) is sending many medical teams in
Feb and they will go to remote places where the only medical care they will get
is from our teams.

I have heard from several inquirers with several questions. Great! The interest
is good and we have a couple new docs and nurses who are planning to sign up.
Several IHS veterans are planning to go, too. However… with about 7 sites where
we will want two doctors and two nurses (RN & LPN) at each, we still have an
urgent need for several more. With about 100 folks needed in all, we certainly
are seeking many medical, dental, and eye care professionals along with support
and helper people, too. Each site has varying medical needs so most will qualify
to help somewhere. We often use EMT and other trained persons where needed. We
even have some helpers who are interested in going to help the teams. There is a
LOT for them to do so that is great!

In addition to clinic teams, we are hoping to get medical folks to send 2
surgical teams and 2 eye glasses teams. How many of these teams depends on who
we get to go.

We are hoping to get a list of committed names for all the docs, nurses,
surgeions, dentists, pharmacists, translators, eye care professionsals, and
other medical folks by 1 October so IHS can start buying all the supplies
(pharmacy, food, medical/dental supplies, plus radio and engineering gear). They
will send all this in a container shipment about the end of December. They will
also select sites based on the skills of those signed up so each applicant will
know where they will go by the end of November.

If you have any questions for info on how to go or how to help out, call or
e-mail John Kirckof at 320-634-4386 right away. A phone call may be the best.
There is a tiny IHS web site at: www.IHSOFMN.org It does have some good general
info in their “newsletter”.

NOTE – I have attached a couple articles written from the last mission trip IHS
did last Feb.

I sure hope you can help !! Either way, do pass the word on to others who may be
interested in this rewarding work. The very poor of Honduras do need our help.
