Story
Hi everyone,
In conjunction to turning the big 3-0 this year, I've decided to step out of my comfort zone and to do something different but yet meaningful to mark my journey to a new decade. It's always been a desire in my heart to use my skills and knowledge as a doctor to help those in need and this year, I have the great privilege of doing so through the Philippines Medical Mission Trip (PMMT) organised by the Full Gospel Assembly in Melbourne (FGA) from 23/4/17 - 30/4/17.
PMMT comprises of both medical (doctors, dentists, optometrists and pharmacists) and non-medical people out to make a difference in the lives of the Phillipines slum community by providing them with basic health care services. Additionally, we are also hoping to share God's love to the community through our prayer and kid's ministries.
The money raised will be used for the purchase of medical/dental/optical supplies and equipments required for the trip. As volunteers, we will be paying for our own expenses (i.e. flights, accommodation, food) so that all the money that we raise will be used solely for the benefit of the Philippines community. This year, we are hoping to raise $20 000 as a group and I truly believe that this is achievable by the grace of God and with the support of family and friends.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this and to contribute. No amount is too small! Thank you for making a difference in my life and the lives of the people in Philippines!
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to my charity of choice.
Thanks so much for your support!

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.
