“It’s in this sacrifice of service that I have found hope, joy, and great purpose.” - Dr. Jose Garcia, volunteer in Kenya

Dear Michelel T, Seven months ago, Dr. Jose Garcia left his family, his friends, and the comforts of home to serve at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Mutomo, Kenya. He describes the immense need: "There are only two doctors here, not counting me. They treat more than 70 patients every day. And our patients come from as far as 40 miles away, often traveling by foot while sick or pregnant. They are very poor people, living off whatever they can grow. I treat so many malnourished children.” “The smile of a child who was sick and now is healed… that doesn’t have a price. That is the best thing - to see them running around again.” - Dr. Jose Garcia As St. Teresa of Ávila reminds us,   Christ has no body now but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes through which he looks Compassion on this world, Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good, Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world. We don't have to travel far to stand beside our brothers and sisters in need. A gift from your heart can help us place highly skilled volunteers, like Dr. Jose, who reach the most vulnerable with quality healthcare services, medicines and compassion. Today, and all throughout Lent, let's remember to look with His eyes to see where we can make a difference in the world.
