Well-Being For All

Mary Burbidge -Making a difference in Central America!

Years ago, Mary Burbidge was touched when she traveled to Honduras on a Construction Expedition. She saw many children running around in the cold and damp air of the Honduran winters and as a former nurse, felt driven to take action. She returned home and asked her friends to help make pneumonia vests for the children to help keep them healthy through the winter months. From there it took off and Mary has not slowed down in her endeavors! This year marked more than 11,000 vests and half as many toques making their way to Central America.

This very colourful photo shows some of the children who received vests this year! What a beautiful sight!

Thank you Mary for making a difference to the lives of the children in Guatemala and Honduras!
