Sept 30th


















Both teams met up at Houston airport and took the same flight down to Belize. We went through Belize custom quite smoothly. The custom insisted to open and check all the meds that we brought. They charged us tax and a “quarantine fee” for the meds and some books that we brought along as gifts. They also kept a few bottles of meds. All our luggage were searched but went through ok. The 2 teams, medical team and visitation team, separated at the airport. Medical team heading the Belize City and the visitation team to Belmopan, a city further away.



















We rested at the B&B for a short time then headed to the church to set up the medical trailer and sort out the meds.














































Then we enjoyed dinner and fellowship with the GB, brothers and sisters of the Belize church. We had our meeting with the GB after dinner to plan and confirm our services during our stay.

Here's the plan:

We will have medical consultation through out the day from 9am to 9pm. We will set up 2 stations and only 2 doctor seeing patient at a time so other can take care of the pharmacy and share the gospel with the patients. We will also plan to visit local Chinese at their business and share the gospel and promote our free medical services.

We will host 3 seminars:
Thursday night will be a seminar by Dr. Law and Dr. Chui in Mandarin, about Hepatitis and common GI track problems, eg. Stomach acid and gas problem, ulcer….etc.
Saturday afternoon will be a seminar by Dr. Chan in English, about First Aid and CPR. The target audience of this seminar is youth.
Sunday night will be a seminar by Dr. Law in Mandarin, about diet and self care for high blood pressure and diabetic patients.

Emily and Eva will host a Children program for about 20 kids, age 6 to 15, on Saturday afternoon.
