Urgent optometrists needed Oct 16-24,2010

After reading through the website of VOSH International, I found your worldwide activities to be very compelling, especially in your commitment to improve eye care for the needy and less privileged in rural communities. I would like to inquire how Nile Care Inc a non-profit organization whose mission is to assist less privileged community in the West Nile Region of Uganda. This region which has a population of about 2 million has very few health facilities that cater for eye care, moreover the few that offer some kind of eye care have very few and outdated eye care equipments that do not meet the demands of eye care in the region. I would like to find out what would be required for Nile Care Inc to partner with your organization to take the kind of services you have already provided in many third world countries to The West Nile region of Uganda. For more information about Nile Care Inc can be obtained from the url: http://nilecare.net/. I look forward to the opportunity of discussing this issue with you in further detail. I can be reached at 240-351-6652. Sincerely, Vasco R. Oguzua President, Nile Care Inc
