Volunteers in May 2008
We were blessed to have a lot of people come our way in May. There was quite a variety of people and they each added something unique to the place.
Dr. Sam Gillis is a retired surgeon from Birmingham, Alabama. This was his second visit with us and he was a tremendous help. He was here for about a month and did nearly 100 cases.
Dr. Erle Kirby, a general surgeon from Canada, also made his second trip to BMC and worked with Dr. Gillis for a couple of weeks. He has been coming to Ghana to help in a clinic in Tamale for several years and just last year came to work with us here. We are glad he did and hope he can come again.
Tanna Donalson is a PA student from Oklahoma. She came with her husband, Shane and some of their friends, Elisabeth Diefenderfer, Jennifer Dierksen and Micael Latshaw. Her friends stayed for only about a week, but Tanna stayed on and worked with us for about a month. She also brought a lot of supplies and drugs made possible by a grant from the PA Foundation.
