This October 2011, FLAME will take off on a new adventure. Besides doing the Pastor's Conference which we do every October, we will be hosting an employee exchange between Walton Rehab and the Disability Center in Upala, Costa Rica. Two therapists from Walton Rehab (Paula Myers and Tonya Bowen) will travel with us and work with the therapists at the Upala Center. They will exchange knowledge, experiences, helpful tips and just get a feel for working in a whole different scenario. They will be accompanied with two translators from Oasis de Bendicion here in Augusta. Returning with us will be two therapist from the Upala Center who will work at Walton for a week, getting to see how things are done here in the States. We are truly looking forward to this exchange. Walton has been a strong supporter of FLAME and the work done at the Disability Center. We have seen this Center grow to be what it is today, providing much needed services. The Disability Center is the only center serving the disabled population in that region.
In December, FLAME will undertake another challege. Maria Del Valle will have the privelege of leading a team from Medical College of GA, with Medical Campus Outreach (MCO)on a medical mission along the borders of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. We will have the opportunity to minister, medically and spiritually to tribes that live along the rio Sarapiqui and Rio San Juan. We will travel by boat while there, as this is the only way to reach these tribes. Some of the villages still do not have electricity and schooling for the children is very limited. Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
FLAME continues to go where few want to go, providing spiritual needs, medical, construction assistance, supplies and clothing for the children, filling whatever the need may be within our reach.
