   Hi, Bill,

   You’ve done some amazing work, and your blog is very inspiring! It is no wonder that you are so well-liked. I want to tell you and your readers about a great opportunity to show your support for global healthcare. A new, interactive website featuring the Catholic Medical Mission Board’s renowned medical donation program allows you to include your name on a box of medical supplies that will be shipped to Zimbabwe at the end of this month — just visit the Packed with Love website at www.PackedWithLove.org.

   Last year alone, CMMB donated nearly $190 million worth of medical supplies — free of charge and without discrimination — and now they need our support. I hope you enjoy viewing www.PackedWithLove.org and consider sharing this campaign with your community!

   I have included the press release below, but please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information.

   Thanks,
   Heather Young

   Support Catholic Medical Mission Board’s Medical Donation Program

   Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB)—the leading U.S. based Catholic charitable organization focused exclusively on global healthcare—needs your support.

   With all of the talk about lowering healthcare costs and providing service to more Americans, it’s easy to forget the extraordinary healthcare needs in resource-poor countries like Kenya, Peru, and Vietnam. Delivering basic medical supplies to those in need can truly save lives.

   You can support global healthcare by putting your name on one of these shipments. CMMB will be sending $200,000 of medical supplies to Zimbabwe at the end of May and is hosting a “Packed With Love” Challenge to raise awareness around this issue. Spread this within your community to help CMMB meet its goals.

   Please visit www.PackedWithLove.org to put your name on a box before the shipment is sent. You will be updated on its journey and the impact your shipment has on those it reaches.

   Since 1928, CMMB’s medical donation program has distributed over $1.7 billion of medicines and medical equipment to improve healthcare in developing nations the world over.

   Visit www.PackedWithLove.org to send love and support to those in need.

   Hi Bill,

   Thank you for this great resource and blog.

   I would like to let you know that this is one of the blogs and websites chosen for our “Selected News” section on GHDonline.org (http://www.ghdonline.org/about/news/#8).

   Additionally, I’d like to inform you that coinciding with the 5th Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM) Pan-African Conference, Prashant Yadav, Professor of Supply Chain Management at the Zaragoza Logistics Center, unveiled the Malaria Treatment and Prevention community on GHDonline.org.

   More than 2,000 professionals representing 700+ organizations across 112 countries have already joined one or several communities on GHDonline.org – at no cost. Each community, or “forum”, is focused on specific health care delivery challenges and guided by expert moderators. The malaria community on GHDonline.org will serve the need of the growing network of global malaria policymakers, national malaria control program professionals, academics, and practitioners to problem-solve and exchange best practices to improve malaria prevention, management, and treatment.

   Joined in this effort by Johanna Daily, MD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and following his MIM presentation, Multiple First-Line Treatments (MFT): Why is it critical and how can it be implemented?, Prof. Yadav is inviting attendees and malaria stakeholders to participate in several online discussions: Multiple first-line treatments (MFT) for malaria: Are we ready? (http://www.ghdonline.org/malaria/discussion/multiple-first-line-treatments-mft-for-malaria-are/), School-delivery of ITNs — a good idea? (http://www.ghdonline.org/malaria/discussion/school-delivery-of-itns-a-good-idea/), and Rapid test and microscopic exam (GE) for malaria (http://www.ghdonline.org/malaria/discussion/rapid-test-and-microscopic-examge-for-malaria/).

   Please let me know if you’d like to learn more about this,
   Sincerely, Sophie Beauvais
