Medical Checks for Children, Mude - Nepal, from € 1.500 - €
6.000
Medical Checks for
Children (MCC) is active all over the world to medically check and
treat children in poverty stricken areas. In 2010 MCC checked approx.
13.000 children on three different continents. This fall (November
2011) MCC will go to the surroundings of Mude (Nepal) to medically
check and if necessary treat the children. In this area there are
about 1000 children.
MCC executes their medical checks in a quick
and efficient manner with the help of a so called
"carrousel". Next to this work MCC educates and teaches
parents and teachers about health, hygiene and nutrition. In Mude 12
adults have been singled out to take a First Aid course. This course
is particularly interesting for these people as it teaches these
adults how to treat cuts and bruises, small infections, removal of
splinters, diarrhea (how to prepare ORS), how to recognize the
difference between a broken- or a sprained bones and the care for
mother/child. Education of the local community will add to their
being able to be as independent as possible which can result in
fewer children dying in childbirth or from the effects of not being
treated properly of malnutrition. In the MCC team there are doctors
and nurses. MCC pays their own flight and accommodation cost. The
participation of Moments of Joy would be sought after in a donation
towards the medical expenses, such as medicine, € 2.300 and
medical appliances, € 1.500. Total cost for this project is €
6.000,- Moments of Joy is active together with another organisation
in this region and therefore fully supports this plan as the whole
community will benefit.
Participation as of € 1.500,- - € 6.000,-
Total from € 1500 - € 6000
