Hurries Aids for Growing Mitch Health Disaster</big></big></big></a></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><big><big><big>&nbsp;&nbsp; </big></big></big>LA CEIBA, Honduras
- The devastating storm was only the beginning. Now MAP is rushing more medicines to keep
thousands of Hondurans alive in the health crisis left by Hurricane Mitch.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Despite initial relief efforts since last
November, Hondurans continue to stagger under the weight of rampant malaria and dengue
fever carried by exploding populations of mosquitoes spawned in hundreds of acres of
stagnant water. Darkening the outlook is the lack of clean drinking water, causing
outbreaks of cholera and hepatitis. Children, who comprise at least half the refugees,
fall prey the easiest.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In response, MAP continues to ship lifesaving
antibiotics, antiseptics, antiparasitics, water purification tablets, and more. Although
Honduras has enough doctors and hospitals, the lack of medicines threatens to undercut
these otherwise lifesaving facilities.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;I thank Jesus for you!&quot; says Hilda
Clarke, of La Ceiba, Honduras, to the donors and staff of MAP International. &quot;I wish
to express my appreciation to you for your sincere kindness and help to the people of
Honduras during this most critical time in our history.&quot;</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; God bless you for helping MAP continue to
provide lifesaving medicines in what has become a long-term health disaster.</font></p>
