Dear HOPE Supporter,
After last year's successful burn repair camp with our partner Resurge International, we have been following up with the 28 patients treated, providing post surgical care. Given the great outcomes achieved during the camp and HOPE's community health worker's enthusiasm for learning new skills to provide burn care and educaiton to poor families, Resurge International has set the date for their next camp! HOPE Foundation will be hosting its second Burn Repair Camp from November 7- 21, 2014. We could not be more excited to have the assistance of Resurge's team to provide unparalleled care and surgery to impoverished patients in Cox's Bazar. We are furthermore looking forward to the fantastic learning opportunities for our staff and village health workers, who are at the forefront of spreading awareness and education on the prevention of burn.
In the time leading up to the camp, HOPE Foundation will be recruiting patients and screening them to determine their eligibility for surgery. This is an extensive job, that invovles HOPE staff to travel to remote areas and essentially knock door to door, to inquire whether anyone in the home or village has endured a burn injury. While this task is tedious, its a great opportunity for our staff to reach additional remote areas and spread the word on not just burn care but the services at HOPE Hospital available for those who cannot afford care otherwise. We can't wait to update you in the lead up to the camp.
Best Wishes,
Ashley Pugh
