45th Airlift to Honduras
The Mission of Love Foundation is sending their forty fifth airlift out
of the 910Th Air wing of the United States Air Force Reserve Unit in
Vienna, Ohio
Friday, February 15, 2008. This humanitarian effort by many people, is
to furnish and supply the basic needs of life to this one hospital in
the entire province of
Honduras.
The patient ratio is one ( 1 ) doctor to ever 5,000 La Mosquitians
Indians. The area suffers from bad communications because there are few
telephone and power lines that exist in the area. Transportation is also
difficult since the few roads that do exist must go through or around
the area's swamps, lagoons, and dense jungles. Most of the region lacks
fresh water and suitable sanitary conditions.
The La Mosquitia,
Honduras
during the 1980's, this rural province on the Nicaraguan border received
a large number of refugees fleeing the Contra War. These immigrants
joined native La Mosquitians ( mostly Indians ) in a world of poverty
and ignorance. Illiteracy is high because of inadequate education. The
region lacks enough school buildings, equipment and teaching tools.
With this airlift provided
by the Mission of Love Foundation,
Austintown, Ohio
it will be sending hospital beds with mattresses, nightstands, over the
bed tray tables, shelving, examination tables, medical supplies and
equipment, materials and sewing supplies. In March, the very first
ambulance in this Honduran Province, will be airlifted by the Denton
Program and donated by the Mission of Love to the hospital. This will
be an on-going Mission of Love to be able to give the La Mosquitian
Indians basic human rights of medical care.
The recipient of these donations will be the Norma I. Love Foundation
who has requested help for the Mesquite Indians who have been forgotten
by most. In 1999 when hurricane Mitch hit
Honduras
the Mission of Love responded with over 35,000 pounds of Aid to the
region. Their children were saved with the Aid that was delivered from
America.
The Mission of Love Foundation is a non - profit organization that
provides humanitarian aid to those in need worldwide, especially
children. Backed be individual, local businesses and
United States
Military Denton Program, the Mission of Love airlifts clothing, food and
medical and construction materials to our world in need. Once the
supplies arrive, groups of people, both young and old, from all walks of
life, are there to utilize the supplies by building medical clinics,
orphanages, administering medical treatment to the ill and serving those
who need help.
