My goodness – it is amazing, that it has only been a few hours since I was on the streets of Lima and here I am in the ultra modern Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. It feels so close and yet so very far.
We met with Dr. Townsend Cooper from the Anglican Church on Sunday afternoon to further refine and define our steps for the Special Needs Children Program (see prospectus document above). We have a huge undertaking before us. We are hoping to develop a model care delivery and advocacy program for medically fragile children and we have a ton-oh-work before we can fully start the project. We are also working to establish a research component of our project. The ultimate goal is to create a sustainable and reproducible model that can be translated to a number of different environments to holistically manage the complex needs of medically fragile children and their families.
We plan to start with the first phase of our project. The remaining phases of the project will unfold over the course of 2013. We are really excited for this work and feel confident that it will represent a model way for the Peruvian Government to address the complicated and complex needs of medically fragile children in resource constrained environments. Stay tuned for more updates. Thanks.
