I want to help and feel called to go. I have traveled with Cure before and what I find appealing about this organization is that Cure International transforms the lives of children and their families through medical and spiritual healing. I believe they work at treating the whole person, not just the physical ailments. They have established specialty teaching hospitals in ten different countries. With ten hospitals, why did I choose this one? This hospital is unique because the emphasis is on treating both the women and children of Afghanistan.
Cure Afghanistan is a 100-bed teaching hospital, which includes a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and a bustling Family Health Center. Cure has worked hard to establish a General Practice Residency Program, an OB/GYN Fellowship training program and OB/GYN training for nurses and midwives. Cure Kabul has treated more than 120,000 patients since opening in early 2005.
What will I be doing at the hospital?
During my two-year stay in Kabul, I am going to be the Director of Nursing at the hospital. I will be responsible for planning, directing and evaluating the activities for the nursing and midwifery departments. There are currently over 90 employees in these two departments. I will be one of many new leaders starting this summer.
I would be grateful if you keep me in your thoughts as I prepare to go and while I am in Afghanistan. As this new team of leaders arrives at the hospital I'm asking that we will encourage and build up one another. May our ministry to the staff and our patients be meaningful and have transformative results.
Another way you can help is to make a financial contribution. I have a fundraising goal to raise $24,000. All donations are tax deductible. Any gift amount would be greatly appreciated.
