On the fundraising front, WHA just held
its annual fundraiser, the 2012 Luau
in Vienna, Virginia on September 23rd. The Luau
was a tremendous success thanks to the
dedication of our event coordinator, Ms.
Deirdre Vo and her hard working team. The
event was completely sold out.
The Luau was filled with beautiful
guests and their colorful Hawaiian
costumes. Our guests were kept busy
with the studio portrait section,
casino royale, silent auction, and high energy
DJ music. Everyone was free to move about
and mingle with each other throughout the
night. The proceeds from this
event
Raffle team - Tim
Farabaugh, guest & Hien
Vo
are a major
portion of WHA's operating budget. With
these donations, WHA will be able to
continue providing care for those
underserved overseas.
A big heartfelt thanks to our
supporters and talented team members for making
this a very successful
evening.
WHA's teaching team is
heading back to Vietnam in November and
collecting medical textbooks for its
mission
World
Health Ambassador is getting ready to send
a medical teaching team to Vietnam in late
November of 2012. With your help, the team hopes
to restore the medical library at the Can Tho
School of Health Sciences by restocking its
contents with new or lightly used medical text
books. This will be the first phase of our
library restoration project. The second
phase of modernization will be to improve its
computer infrastruture so that the students and
faculties can search online for more up to date
medical literature. Currently, the medical
library is short on many types of
textbooks. Those that
are available are
grossly outdated textbooks from a
variety of foreign donors and are written in
several foreign languages. A
more uniform, updated and
functional library will greatly help
to further the studies of its students and
doctors and allow WHA staff to
perform its teaching responsibilities. WHA
is asking that you donate recent medical
textbooks (current or one edition old medical,
dental, and pharmacy textbooks) or donate funds
to purchase new or lightly used textbooks. Your
text books can be sent to WHA headquarters or
donations can be processed online at whausa.org.
If you have questions, please email WHA at info@whausa.org.
Donated
medical textbooks are accepted through November
15th, 2012. Please ship textbooks
