Orange County Register

Post by Mai

Today I had the opportunity to meet with Nathan Percy from the OC Register to talk about Hearts for Hearts in Ghana.  I am not sure when the story will be published yet but will let everyone know when I find out. 

Nathan told me to let him know when we are doing our next supply drive for donated medical supplies and he will put it in the paper to get the word out!  Year two of this foundation is starting off great already.

Currently, we are doing the research to determine the next place to volunteer during the summer of 2018.  We are looking into volunteering in Sri Lanka where they use Aurveda medicine. Aurveda is a more traditional and holistic type of medicine where the focus is a bit more preventive.  Once we figure out the location, and safety, we will contact the locals that we will be working with to determine what their needs are.  

For every trip the Hearts for Hearts Foundation does like Ghana we do a lot of research ahead of time.  Some of the things to consider are :

• Safety
• Needs of the locals
• Infrastructure to help us get to places that need our help
• A local coordinator that knows the area extremely well
• US Government inquiry about the area and safety recommendations
• Any political issues that we should be aware of
• Any many other things!!!

Check back soon for updates and more about Sri Lanka.
