Mano a Mano donated medical supplies and equipment to Hospital Harry Williams in Cochabamba this week – our last donation of 2020.

Hospital Harry Williams

“Hi, my name is Marcos Antonio Bolivar, I am an administrator at Hospital Harry Williams. I want to thank, first Jesus Christ, and everyone involved with Mano a Mano Internacional, because thanks to this donation we will be able to reach more people in need. As a Salvation Army organization, we have the same mission to work with those most in need, and this donation you are giving us will help us further our mission and continue working with people with limited resources. I thank everyone at Mano a Mano Internacional for this donation that will go to people in need. Thank you, God bless the work you are doing, and may God bless many people through your work. We are going to share this blessing with every person that needs it. Many thanks, may God bless you and give you strength to continue moving forward.”

In 2020, Mano a Mano shipped 7 containers with 175,777 pounds – 87+ tons! – of medical supplies, mobility equipment, and other items to Bolivia for distribution to people and organizations in need throughout the country. We also helped provide supplies locally in the Twin Cities and to organizations working in other countries, including Honduras, El Salvador, and Cameroon. Thanks to the many people in Minnesota and Bolivia that work so hard to make these shipments possible!
