Story
Hi everyone!!
This April, I will be heading to the Philippines with my church, Full Gospel Assembly Melbourne (FGAM), on it's yearly medical mission trip. This trip involves partnership with two local churches in Manila, and our team of 50 medical and non-medical volunteers are setting up and operating pro-bono medical clinics for the less fortunate in TWO areas of Manila, Caloocan and Pasig. Our team comprises of doctors, dentists, pharmacists, optometrists, as well as people with non-medical backgrounds.
As most of y'all would know, I'm currently a pharmacy student and am very excited to be able to serve and help with the education I have been super blessed to receive so far :)
More importantly, whilst we provide important medical, dental and optical services to the locals living in poverty, we also get the opportunity to pray for these people going through personal struggles, minister to children and connect with the local Christian community - being mindful that we are simply God's instruments in spreading His love and touching the world.
As a team, we're looking to raise a total of $20,000 to fund the necessary medical, dental, optical and other supplies to operate our pro-bono clinics and provide the best level of care possible for each and every patient. These funds will predominantly go towards the purchase of medicine, hospital costs for certain patients (in events of serious illnesses), glasses, necessities for the local orphanage and vital equipments for the clinic.
**Every volunteer pays their own way and are not funded from any donations received!!
So to put things into perspective, here's an approximate indication of the potential impact that your donation will have:
$25 - provides necessary medication for 5 patients
$50 - provides correct vision/sight for 10 people
$100 - provides medication for 10 patients and glasses for 10 people
As you can see it doesn't cost much to provide basic healthcare in the Philippines and you can rest assured that every single dollar will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the lives of those living in poverty!
Thanks for reading my spew about the trip, and I hope it spurs you to make a contribution that helps us in impacting these lives :) Otherwise, supporting our team through prayer, encouragement and through our other fundraising efforts would be highly appreciated and valued! Please feel free to message me if you'd like to know more about the trip and/or how you can get involved.
God bless,
Charissa <3

ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES MEDICAL MISSION TRIP
FGA Melbourne organises a yearly medical mission to provide medical attention and optical services to the people of Pasig and Caloocan in Philippines for FREE. Our volunteer doctors, dentists, optometrists and mission members pay their own way for the trip and cover their own local costs, enabling 100% of funds raised to be directed to the work of the mission.
The poorest Filipino family earns an average income of about AUD5 daily. Expenses for food account for two-thirds of a family of five’s expenditures, followed by expenditure for electricity, water and other fuels. Healthcare in Philippines has yet to be free or subsidized. Thus, for the sick to seek medical help it is the least of their priorities. So for some, going to a doctor would mean having to forgo breakfast, lunch or dinner for a day, two days or a week. It would mean borrowing money from another relative, whom they can never repay. Or work a few more shifts in a factory to buy medication or pay the hospital bills. If you are the breadwinner of the family, falling sick would mean your children will have no food on the table when they’re hungry. Therefore many people wait until they are at their final stages of illness before going to the hospital. Some never recover from their illnesses.
This coming April, FGA Melbourne will run their 6th annual medical mission trip to provide medical,dental attention and optical services to the people of Pasig and Caloocan in Philippines for FREE. However, we cannot do this on our own. We are hoping to raise $15,000 by the 22nd of April to set up mobile clinics, and your contribution will go to buying medication and other essential supplies for them.
Partner with us and we will bring your love to the people of Philippines at our own expenses.
Your simple contribution will go a long long way.
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you for your heart of giving and for blessing the people of Philippines.
