On Thursday I will be leaving for a two week trip to Lamb Hospital in Bangladesh. You can view this extraordinary mission hospital on the web at www.lambproject.org It is my desire in Burn Care International to improve the lives of burn victims in poor countries around the world. This trip out to Lamb will be to train the medical staff of the burn/wound/physical therapy departments to measure, fit and use pressure garments to minimize the scarring and contractures that occur with burn injuries. We will also be training a local tailor how to sew the garments and how to work with the staff to produce a good product. I am taking a seamstress from Shriner's Burn Hospital for Children with me, Annie Benick who has unbelieveable sewing skills and is a huge asset to BCI. It will be our goal to use our two week trip to help them set up a simple and effective rehabilitation program. Please pray for this trip for the preparations that need to be made before I leave, for safety for the trip (I do not actually arrive at the hospital until Sunday night), for my contact, Dr Bob Bowers and his family who have served since 1966 as a surgeon in Africa and Asia, for our ability to communicate the importance of consistency with the pressure garment, good nutrition, proper hygiene, and daily physical therapy, and finally that we would be an encouragment to the staff at Lamb and the people that we meet.
