ALBC Youth Touching Lives at Around the World
January 24th, 2010 Posted in INMED
This past summer Lynette Lartey and her family took upon themselves to spear head a medicine bottle drive with the ALBC Youth to help the pharmacy at the Baptist Medical Centre in Nalerigu. The pharmacy at the BMC typically uses old offering envelopes from Churches to distribute the medicines. However, it is necessary to have bottles for ointments and sometimes keep medicines dry and contained. The need for containers to hold these pharmaceuticals was great, but through the Lartey’s leadership and the servant attitudes of many ALBC youth the pharmacy received the needed bottles.
A bottle seems so simple and worthless to many of us in the States but the bottles used at the BMC is just another way to show compassion to the people of Northern Ghana. Thanks to the ALBC Youth for being the Hands & Feet of Christ!
If you are looking for ways to partner with the BMC there is a great need for bandages. You can use old, but clean, sheets, pillow cases…and tear them in strips. Wound care is crucial here and clean bandages are always in great need! To learn more you can visit www.baptistmedicalcenter.org or email me directly.
