They're at it again!

Tracie Twombly delivering antibiotic ointments to Sherri
Last year Tracie Twombly organized a drive to collect tubes of antibiotic ointments for the health workers in Africa.  Everything they donated was delivered last year.  Now she's organizing another drive for this year.

In the meantime other families and church groups pooled their good wishes for Christmas and collected 180 tubes!!  There is absolutely nothing that makes the health workers any happier than the antibiotic ointments.  You cannot purchase them in developing countries (I know I've tried!) so even the hospital staff beg the health workers to share with them.

These little items are truly miracles in a tube!  Every health worker can tell you stories of the miracles performed for clients who had leg ulcers for years or children with infected burns or people who walked miles to reach them in quest of the "magic" ointment.
