BBF Staff Visits Tanzania

Superstorm Sandy Update

In November 2012 BBF Vice President of Medical Programs and Strategic Initiatives Liam Carstens visited Tanzania. His goal was to connect with current BBF recipients such as the Archdiocese of Arusha and potential recipients of medical supplies and equipment like the Diocese of Moshi.

Sr. Phyllis, the Hospital Director of St. Elizabeth Hospital in Arusha, Tanzania, and Mr. Carstens discuss a recent donation that BBF made to the hospital. Sr. Phyllis thanks Mr. Carstens and tells of the continuing need

for hospital equipment and supplies.

From left, Liam Carstens; Dr. Kway, Medical Director of St. Elizabeth Hospital; and Fr. Kastory Kisuda, CSSp,

Bursar, Spiritan Province of Tanzania. Carstens, Kway, and Kisuda stand in Arusha, Tanzania in front of the sign

for St. Elizabeth Hospital, the largest hospital supported by BBF recipient the Archdiocese of Arusha, receiving patient referrals from the two other district hospitals and various health centers and clinics. BBF sent hospital beds, exam tables and medical supplies to St. Elizabeth Hospital in

2012.

Sr. Monica and Fr. Zakayo Kimaro, CSSp in the pharmacy of the Roman Catholic Dispensary/

Maternity Center in Mto wa Mbo, Tanzania. This dispensary in rural Tanzania has received manual hospital beds and medical supplies from BBF. It

still reports a great need for additional medicines, equipment, and supplies.

Expectant mothers wait in the prenatal area of Kilema District Hospital outside of Moshi,

Tanzania. This hospital, in the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro, experiences shortages of basic

consumable supplies like sutures, gloves, gauze and bandages. Even with the challenges, the staff of the hospital serves a catchment area of 250,000

urban and rural inhabitants of northeastern Tanzania, surrounding the town of Moshi. BBF hopes to send delivery tables, medical supplies

and other equipment to this hospital in 2013.

BBF, working with Gleaning for the World sent a swift response to aid those impacted by Superstorm Sandy along the east coast, but there is still much to do. BBF helped to send $2.5 million worth of supplies to the area, including, 12 loads of blankets that have proven to be incredibly useful in the frigid temperatures plaguing the region. In addition to the blankets, non-perishables, water bottles, cleaning supplies, pet food and snacks were sent. In New York State alone, donations helped people in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, Rockaway, Bronx and Albany. In total, 24 tractor-trailer loads were sent to the Northeast and one to Charleston,

WV. We are not done yet. As long as there is need, we will be working to satisfy it.

Product contributions in 2012 totaled $289,833,028. Product shipments for the year totaled $279,295,103. Direct shipments went to 66 countries as 297 tractor trailer/container loads with an aggregate weight of over 2,664 tons. I wish to express thanks to BBF’s staff and Trustees for a wonderful and productive year. Their work

and assistance is greatly appreciated here and around the world. BBF has been invited to work with the medical equipment and supply gathering o r g a n i z a t i o n , CrossLink, located in northern Virginia, near Washington

D.C. Its staff and founder, Dr. Barry Byer, visited BBF in December. At the January 2013 annual meeting, BBF elected Ms. B.J. Leber as Chair. She takes over for Mr. Charles J. Stout who served as Chair for the past two years. Many thanks to Chuck for his leadership and guidance. BBF’s slate of officers for 2013 also included Mr. Walter B. Fowler as Vice Chair, Mr. Austin P. Henry as Secretary, Mr. Joseph T. Senko as Treasurer and Dr. Deborah K. McMahon as Medical Director. A new voting Trustee, Mr. Alvin J. Harper, was elected. Also, Mr. Mark LaRosa and Dr. Richard McGough joined the Advisory Board.

Pawleys Island Community Church in South Carolina has supported a yearly medical and dental team to a needy village in Guatemala since 2005. This was our ninth trip. We partner with Iglesia Galilea, a Christian church in San Lucas, Guatemala, and with Kids Alive International, in our work in Guatemala. Wracked with civil war for decades, Guatemala has widespread poverty and 50% of the population is under 18. Zapote is a very poor village, located in a remote area of Southwestern Guatemala. During the rainy season, three rivers prevent access to this village because of high water levels. We crossed these three river beds, through very rocky roadways, traveling one and a half hours from our home base at an orphanage in San Lucas, Guatemala, to Zapote. Most of the land is owned by wealthy land owners, and the men of Zapote work in coffee and sugarcane fields, typically 12 hours a day, to earn barely enough money to feed their families, but little else. We operated a primary care clinic and dental clinic, with one doctor and one dentist, and excellent support of nurses, pastors, and other support staff in the school. We treated a wide variety of medical conditions, including starvation and malnutrition, parasites, chronic diarrhea, asthma, pneumonia, allergies, arthritis and other musculoskeletal pains, dental decay, hypertension, type II diabetes mellitus, depression and anxiety, discouragement and loss of hope. The medicines and supplies we received from generous donors like Brother’s Brother Foundation were incredibly vital to our mission there, without which we would have been crippled. We also saw many with visual impairment, much of which could be corrected with glasses supplied by generous partners. It was truly amazing to watch as someone with poor vision was tested for visual acuity, given a pair of glasses, slipped them on, and smiled in amazement as they saw clearly for the first time in years. Our group included some construction folks who really worked on some simple upgrades on the structure of the school, and fixed up the road in front of the school, and for a family with eight school-aged sons, our construction guys tore down their old little shack where several of the younger ones were relegated to

sleeping on the dirt floor, and rebuilt a more substantial house and supplied bunk beds so everyone had a bed to sleep on. At the completion of the project, the little guys were so excited about their new home, they were jumping on their beds! We are greatly indebted to you for your donation of supplies for our trip, without which we couldn’t have touched so many in Zapote, Guatemala. Thank you sincerely for your assistance with our trip.Thanks for all you do. Larry Kelly

Thank You from Pawleys Island Community Church

My name is Kevin Meszaros and I am finishing up my master’s degree at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh. I am excited to be helping out at BBF with the mission trip program, where I fulfill orders for smaller quantities of pharmaceuticals from groups going abroad for short trips. I work with each group to get the information we need in order to provide the medical supplies that will help make their trips successful.
