“I have taken part in many mission trips over the last 7 years within the US. Volunteer Morocco allowed me to serve on a greater scale and gave me the opportunity to travel and experience another culture while doing so."- Franzisca Rodorf, volunteer, winter 2008/09

Congratulations everyone, our 40-foot shipping container of medical equipment is going to be packed at IMEC in North Andover and shipped out tomorrow.  It will pass through the port in New York and travel across the Atlantic over the next 3 weeks to arrive in Agadir, Morocco.  3 villages in Morocco will receive life-saving medical equipment worth $295,000.

 
Securing this equipment and raising money for the shipping has been a long process and we thank everyone for their help and support.  The MCPHS pre-Med club, along with the Boston Moroccan community and other private donors, raised money to pay for the shipping of this container, and MCPHS students will be in Morocco to help with unpacking and delivery when the container arrives.
 
All are welcome to join us for the final loading of the "Medical Equipment for Morocco" container tomorrow morning at the loading dock, starting at 9:00 am.
