Team to Hand Deliver Textbooks to Malawi

Los Angeles members of an American medical team visiting Daeyang Nursing College (DNC) in August, will hand deliver 250 pounds of medical and nursing textbooks. DNC is located in Lilongwe, Malawi. Its mission is to develop Christ-inspired and competent nurses who provide comprehensive, compassionate and culturally sensitive nursing care to individuals, families, groups, and communities in a global society. DNC's goal is to provide a collaborative teaching and learning environment to achieve this mission. The nursing college currently has a three-year diploma program and is trying to promote to four-year Bachelor of Science Nursing. The book-to-student ratio is one-to-eight.

A special OML shout out of thanks to Esther Kang, RN, with Healthcare Professionals Ministry, for her assistance.
