. Local nurses are part of CarePartners group heading to Peru
On Sept. 30 a group of 12
CarePartners Nurses including
Denise Gilchrist and Karen
Blackwell will join the Stratford
Rotary Club and travel to Peru on
a medical aid trip.
The trip will involve 10 days
providing clinics to remote vil-
lages on the Amazon and the
nurses will be treating patients of
all ages with a variety of illness-
es.
The nurses will be working in
three locations in Peru, El
Triunfo, 48 km south of Iquitos
on the only highway out of town,
and 13 de Febrero (Feb. 13,
named for the date they started
the community), which is 32 kms
south of Iquitos. Santa Maria Del
Ojeal is on the Amazon River,
and the nurses will be taking
boats with all supplies to that
location.
The medical team consists of a
physician, pharmacist, dentist
and 14 nurses. There are 12 other
people who will be doing a vari-
ety of jobs such as transporting
clients to the clinics and construc-
tion and repair work in the vil-
lages. There is the possibility of
doing some additional work on
the church that had been built
three years ago with any • funds
that are left over.
Jean Aitcheson, who is a nurse
at the Stratford hospital, is the
leader of the medical aid trip.
Aitcheson, along with• the
Stratford rotary club has been
able to make the connections
with the rotary club in Peru, to set
up clinics and to plan the trans-
portation of supplies.
Nurses were asked to collect
items such as shampoo, soap,
toothpaste, toothbrushes, sun-
glasses and .old prescription eye-
glasses. The nurses will be doing
health teaching to help promote
better health, and would like to
hand out the above items to those
who come to the clinic for treat-
ment. As well, any donations that
the nurses receive help to pur-
chase medications and supplies to
take on the trip.
Aitcheson has a
warehouse/depot • in Stratford
where she collects supplies
throughout the year, These sup-
plies are used for her two medical
aids trips per yea r, as well as
other local groups that she . knows
going on similar trips. Any sup-
plies that can not be used on these
trips, are trucked to St. Catharines
to the "Warehouse of Hope", a
place that collects supplies and
will ship them to any place in the
world that has a need for them.
A few from the group recently.
went to help Aitcheson with the
task of organizing and packing
supplies.
Gilchrist and Blackwell hope
to have . a successful medical and
trip, and to be able to make a dif-
ference in the lives of others.
"We have been very pleased
with the donations of items and
cash that our community has'
given us towards this trip," said
Gilchrist. "Many of you came to
our barbecue fund-raiser that we
held in Wngham when we raised
over $400.
There is still time to donate. to
Denise Gilchrist and Koren Blackwell
this cause. Tax receipts will be
issued for donations of $20 or
mire. Checks can be made out to
'CNS' (Community nursing serv-
ices) And they can be mailed to
