Longtime KimKaps customer and RN Evan Epper recently accompanied several
other medical personnel to Rwanda with a team belonging to a non-profit organization called IOWD – International Organization for Women
and Development , Inc founded by Barbara Margolies. Evan writes:
“We
go to third world countries like Rwanda to assist women of different
age groups suffering from a devastating condition called VVF (
vesicovaginal fistula) or VRF ( vesicorectal fistula) and do surgeries –
most of our surgeons, nurses and other volunteers come from different
states and we volunteer our time, using vacations hours to go there.
Sometimes we are fortunate enough to get sponsorship for air tickets,
but if not, we buy them out of pocket. I do the volunteer medical
mission at least once or twice yearly, God willing. I was privileged to
have the contact with who provided our team and some of the Rwanda
staff with the gorgeous hats we wore for the mission.”
Evan works as an RN at Hackensack University Medical Center, a hospital she credits with “making it possible for me to do the things I do to try to better our world.” Kimkaps outfitted Evan’s team with surgical scrub hats to take on the medical mission, and Evan graciously put together a wonderful montage of photos from her trip. Enjoy!
