Greetings to everyone!
I would like to ask a favor to anyone who could provide (us) medicines and other medical disposables (syringes, cottons, gauzes etc.); that we could use on our forthcoming medical and dental mission this coming May 31, 2008.

A medical & dental team from the Philippine Navy was already arranged. What we need very badly are the medicines. Please help us realize this endeavor. Help in whatever form is highly appreciated.
