MISSIONS
2012: Panama
El Bale
April 14th (Sat) - April 22nd (Sun)
Needed:
Medical/Dental team
This mission is designed to bring medical/dental care to the hill communities of Bale and Pinon in Central Panama. Little known to most are Panama’s indigenous peoples.
We will be working in the Veraguas Province with the Bugle/Ngobe people which are Panama's largest indigenous group with around 164,000 members. They were once known as fierce warriors, who wore an ornament called the Chaquira. The Chaquira remains a symbol of their culture, but is now sophisticated hand-beaded jewelry that is a source of income for the tribe.
On Sunday we will tour the Old City and Panama Canal and then head out for the Veraguas Province where we will have our clinics Monday through Wednesday. Thursday we head out to El Valle, a very special place of eternal springtime, convenient to the beaches and sightseeing. Saturday night we are back in Panama City with a Sunday departure.
We have set up this mission so that you will arrive Saturday in Panama City and stay at a comfortable hotel. Sunday we head out for Central Panama.
Donation
for the Mission is $1885 (Please see the itinerary for
all that is covered).
