Amigos of NY/HELP,
During our May 2014 mission trip to La Laguna, David Makepeace and our coordinator Yovany Munguía had discussions with Seydy Roseli Aquilar, the head nurse at the Health Center in La Habana, about ways to improve the health care available to the communities around La Laguna and La Habana.
The Health Center in La Habana sits along the main road to the "county seat" of Yoro (about 25 miles away), and provides the next level of assistance to the people of these mountains. This is where our nurse Mirtila refers patients who require more medical care than she can provide at the clinic in La Laguna.
This project would definitely augment and improve the level of care available to the people of the coummunities around La Laguna with whom we have been working for the past 25 years. I recommend we consider assisting in this infrastructure improvement.

After welcoming you to the following step, the main objective of this note is to request financial support according to your means, in improving the infrastructure of the health center “Leonidas Padilla” in La Habana, Yoro, and the donation of medical equipment to establish a clinical laboratory.
This application is supported by the care needs of the population of 5,543 people in a total of 32 villages, including the people attending the Clinic of La Laguna de Mataderos, because it is difficult to carry out medical lab examinations, as these laboratories are only found in the departmental capital of Yoro, Yoro, located a long distance from their communities.
Attached to this note are the respective budgets [for a small building for a clinical lab, and for the needed lab equipment.].
Sincerely,
Seydy Roseli Aguilar Padilla
