Each year Mission Honduras LeMars purchases medicine
to be used by the Gehlen Catholic Mission Honduras January
medical team. According to Richard Seivert, director of Mission Honduras, the
medical teams from Gehlen pay for their entire trip and much of the
medicines used. Each year, however, the amount of medicines received varies
from what is necessary. The board of directors of Mission Honduras LeMars
has graciously voted to purchase whatever is necessary when what the doctors
have ordered falls short.
