>> LSA Philippines : HEALTH <<

Sr. Alisi is in charge of the Health Project. There are 6 Filipino women who are trained community health workers and take responsibility in this project. Dr. Ben is an ’Urban Poor’ Community Health Advocate and instructor of the community health Workers (CHW) training. He comes every Friday to treat patients and continues Health Education both with the clinic staff and people in the Community.

We have 2 volunteer nurses, Dunia, who comes from Palestine, and Marion who is Canadian. Marion also does the pap smears. Dunia attends on Monday, and Marion on Wednesday. We are very grateful for the help of these volunteers.
