If you would like to give towards the hospital but you are not sure which account to use, please give to the Bongolo Hospital Special Projects account. With this account we take care of many other smaller projects for which there is no fund or we can use it towards accounts that do not have enough money to meet the needs. Thanks.
Several times a year a container of medical supplies is shipped from Cleveland, Ohio to Gabon and the Bongolo Hospital. The shipping costs and port fees can cost around $10,000 each container. If you would like to give toward this ongoing need, please give towards the Bongolo Medical Supplies Shipping Charges account. Thanks.
In June 2011, after the first year of classes were over, one of the Nursing Students invited the class and professors over to her house for an end of the year PARTY! Here are some of the photos from that afternoon:
The Students were dancing with joy! I’m sure that they burned a lot of calories!

In January 2011 a new Outpatient Clinic Building was opened. After the 7:30 am prayer time, all the hospital personnel walked over to the new building to have a “Prayer of Dedication” for the building, those who would work there and those patients who would be consulted there. After the prayer, the building opened for service!
