CAMTA Mission 2012: Celebrating 10 years of Partnership

CAMTA is PACKED and ready for Mission 2009!!!!

The Adult OR nurses receive the Smith and Nephew Prostheses for packing at the Warehouse

Smith and Nephew are a company with philanthropic beliefs.  Here Mr. Bill Wilkins, the Edmonton area sales manager for the company is delivering the prostheses and instruments for the total hip arthroplasties that we will perform in Quito, Ecuador from Feb 20th to Mar 7th.

It has been very busy at the warehouse.  We now have 84 bags packed!  We have 3000 pounds of materials to transport to the Tierra Nueva Hospital for our surgical project. 

Here, Marc Moreau sweeps up the dust.

It really is so exciting!  The last general meeting had a big BUZZ in the air because departure is so close.  We have students like Asha Olmstead and nurses like Mae Pascoe who will be having their first experience helping out in the developing world.  They are so ready to experience new things and to help people improve their health.  

 Follow the mission over the next almost three weeks.  You'll see pictures of our patients and our staff getting to work at the Tierra Nueva Hospital in Quito, Ecuador.

  Here Betty, Rocio and Asha work hard at entering the hockey bag lists into laptops.  This year we must have our supplies pre-approved for import into Ecuador.
