$2000.00usd

In 2001, our cooperative organized the donation of ophthalmologic equipment
to the local public Adolfo Prieto Hospital. The air carrier DHL International
donated the flight of the equipment from Columbus Ohio to Taxco, Guerrero.

This project worked out so well that we were all honored by the State Secretary of Health
And representatives from the Municipal Government and from the DIF, a health agency.

The Adolfo Prieto Hospital is so bare that it is not funny, the X-ray machine is from the late 1940s and the operating tables are probably from the same period. This Hospital
serves the poor people who have no other resource when they get sick or are injured.

The Taxco Hospital Project is an initiative of Artcamp, our rural women’s artisans cooperative in order to serve our community and also ourselves and our families.

Everything we do is completely legal and in the open. The medical equipment goes
Directly to the Hospital which is owned by the State of Guerrero. The unofficial guardians of the donated ophthalmologic unit are the nurses who work in the Hospital.

We believe DHL will perhaps donate another movement of donated equipment to Taxco;
The most important items we have from the Hospital Personnel are an X-ray machine and blood laboratory equipment; also incubators and just about everything you can think of.

We propose to use the $2000usd to secure medical equipment for Adolfo Prieto Hospital;
we are genuinely grateful for the assistance and collaboration of persons of good will.
