Rich Young presents medicine to Madam First Lady, Maureen Mwanawasa at the Zambia Statehouse in Lusaka, Zambia, AFRICA, in May 2003.

PROJECT: "ZAMBIA MEDICAL BRIGADES" -

WHEN: October 2012

WHERE: Zambia, AFRICA

ELEMENTS:

1. Twelve doctors: four pediatricians, four gynecologists, and four general medical practitioners;
2. A container of medicine valued at more than $2.5 million dollars, wholesale;
3. Thirty-two mornings of medical seminars, thirty-two afternoons of free treatment to Zambian orphans, widows, and other vulnerable persons;
4. The research to submit immediate and sustaining solutions for leap-frogging a nation's medical system into today's most current technology available.

SUMMARY: There are two basic elements to this Pure Works project: to treat orphans, widows and other vulnerable with medicine in hopes to better their lives, sustain them for a longer life, in some cases, save their lives; and, to further educate local medical personnel. Other longer term benefits are associated, such as sustaining solutions to the medical system of Zambia that will save countless lives.

THE PLAN: A dozen doctors will be divided into four groups. Respectively, each group of three will travel to one of the four major cities in Zambia: Kitwe; Livingstone; Lusaka; and Ndola. Each group will be comprised of a pediatrician, a gynecologist, and a general medical practitioner.

THE TACTICS: Each doctor will teach curriculum in eight morning sessions over a period of two weeks. Each doctor will participate in afternoon hands-on treatment of patients. Evenings will be left for statistic compilation, journaling, and outlining technology solutions.

THE HUMANITARIAN AID: A container of medicine from Pure Works donors containing more than $2.5M wholesale medicine is ready to be shipped to Zambia from Brunswick, Georgia. The list of medicine has been approved by the Zambian Ministry of Health, and as soon as a contract is signed, the medicine will ship. This container of medicine will be supplemented as is needed as deficiencies are identified.

CELEBRATIONS: The Rich Young Band will play in Kitwe, Livingstone, Lusaka and Ndola celebrating this years medical missions in Zambia.
