Operation Hernia Nigeria:

I am currently a fourth year medical student at the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine applying to begin a general surgery residency in 2010.  For a long time I have been interested in doing volunteer work in my field of interest and thus, have decided to join Operation Hernia and Dr. Villalobos on a humanitarian mission.  The mission will take place in March 18-26, 2010, in the Awojobi clinic in Eruwa, Nigeria.  Here, we will have the opportunity to help patients with no medical resources by repairing groin hernias that at times can become life-threatening if left untreated. Because of the severe need for medicines and medical equipment in Nigeria I have begun an initiative to gather the necessary supplies to aid and complement this humanitarian mission.  Aside from the supplies I intend collect in donations and bring with me to Nigeria, your money will help aid the development of Awojobi clinic in Eruwa and improve the health of many Nigerians.

I greatly appreciate all your support in making this mission a success.

 

Sincerely,

Vangie A. Texidor Cabanillas
