UPDATE on Bon Berger - November 2011

Many thanks to all of you who have been involved in the Bon Berger program, from Delphin and Pierre.  Please consider giving to continue their vision.  As of December, the Bon Berger clinic project is being transfered over to IMHA (International Mennonite Health Association) from MB Mission.  IMHA is a partner of MB Mission and has agreed to take on certain socially orientated projects, like this one, from MBMission.  The advantage of IMHA is the following: (1) the focus on social projects is at the center of it's mission, (2) it is a network of resources and services for impoverished areas, (3) it's intention is to work synergistically with existing mission organizations and associations, and (4) it takes no administrative fee for it's services which are covered by volunteers and funding from board members.   You can still send cheques to MB Mission but these will be passed on to IMHA.
