Global Links
A group of us volunteered to help out at Global Links yesterday. Global Links is an organization that takes quality discarded medical supplies and sends them to places where they can be used. Often, the supplies are discarded because a hospital changes vendor or because our standards and regulations are above and beyond those of other countries. Some hospitals that receive help have a shortage of supplies as basic as surgical gloves and soap. We helped sort some supplies and prepare them for shipment. We only spent two hours of our time but we hope we can feel good about helping people in several poor countries - people who badly need the help.
Here is a picture of the group that volunteered (along with Jennifer - the Global Links representative). (Click on the picture for a larger version.)
