January 2022 Volunteer Lunch & Learn Update
By Sanonna Newburn
Project C.U.R.E has been able to support the country’s hospitals through C.U.R.E Cargo shipments and C.U.R.E Kit deliveries. Since August, every Project C.U.R.E warehouse has contributed to containers or kits being sent to the war areas of Ethiopia. As of January, ten containers have been shipped and six are in queue. These shipments consist of Emergency Relief Beds (ERB), disaster relief supplies, and Project C.U.R.E’s standard medical supply containers. Below are the hospitals that have been helped by Project C.U.R.E.
