Purpose



Keeping in mind Christ's words in Matthew 6:1-4

"Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men, to be seen by them...when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.

it was with careful deliberation and intentions to avoid self-glorification that I decided to create this blogspot for the following purposes:
  • To express gratitude to the donors who so generously have supported CURE and our work in the Dominican Republic and Haiti
  • To repay the encouragement and support given to us by our CURE home office family who deserve to see the images and read the stories of the lives being changed by their efforts in a nondescript Pennsylvania warehouse
  • To inspire others to understand the benefits of sacrifice and engage themselves in caring for those less fortunate
  • To give information for visitors planning long or short term work with CURE International in the Dominican Republic and Haiti
  • To provide contact information for patients and organizations seeking high quality orthopaedic treatment in the Dominican Republic and Haiti
As the Medical Director of CURE International Dominican Republic and Haiti this site is authored by myself and other authorized persons but is not an official publication of CURE International and although it is written with discretion it does not strictly adhere to HIPAA regulations.
