hi doc... and list... more about GUAMAP

[Guest guest]

Dear Doc,

 

 

Doc:

 

GUAMAP is not a well funded NGO but instead struggles to raise it's small

opperating budget each year. We do not have even a single paid staff member in

the states and only one paid person in Guatemala . Our first Promotore De Salud

to reach a teaching level (Miguel S-G) is paid a stipend for the time he misses

from his other work in his own village.

 

Marco:

 

I know every NGO are struggling, this is why I think that if we could pull of

some foundational work in education developing an as extensive and in depth

course as possible would be paving the way for long term development...

 

For example less say I get run over by a car then the small scale project in the

hospital would dissolve on the spot. Thus if we can develop curriculum material

(in Spanish and " guest " teachers whenever possible) that would be great because

then say in three years to come me getting run over by a car would be less of a

problem for the hospital...

volunteers in the city would be great because even if I

personally could not be funded via say GUAMAP but

other people could. Thus having an more regular influx of

practitioners of Chinese medicine, which could teach

us here more advance and different ways of

understanding Chinese medicine and hence contributing to long term

development, also I would feel less " lonely " .<

 

Actually our volunteers are in no way paid. In the early days i even had to pay

all of my own fare and expenses but now we at least provide for food and a plane

ticket.
