He said that most of them do so because of the outpouring of gratitude that they receive from their Guyanese patients. They say that it makes them feel that their work is indeed making a difference.They hope to make the 2011 Outreach an even greater success than last years and encourage as many persons as possible to come out to the clinics in their vicinity. The schedule has been published in today’s issue and will continue to run until the clinics are all wrapped up.Guyana Watch Inc is a Not for Profit Organisation and all of the members of the Medical Team volunteer their services. All group members work without any compensation and provide for their own airfare and accommodation. |
