ACIM-Asia Medical Mission

A volunteer checks patient as others wait for their turn.

   
    Another medical mission was sponsored by ACIM-Asia in Sampaloc, Rizal some kilometers south of Manila, Philippines. Thirty five French and local volunteers like members of the League in Manila came to do the annual event.




   The mission required a herculean task and the Apostles of mary was there to offer such help along with volunteers from other groups. More than just a plain medical mission,some volunteers taught catechism and some religious instructions to patients, especially the children while waiting for their turn. 

   





Some volunteers act as interpreters for both the foreigners and patients.

   Despite the heavy rains, long queues and illnesses which the doctors and volunteers themselves experienced, it was yet another successful medical mission. Thanks to the foreign and local volunteers for a job worthy of accolade and heartfelt gratitude. Hundreds of patients and marginalized members of the society benefited from such act of charity.
