Dear Friends,

As we approach Give to the Max Day, I’m grateful for this community that makes our work possible. Because of supporters like you, we’re able to bring high-quality medical education and meaningful support to rural clinics and schools that need it most in Bolivia. If our mission has touched you, I invite you to consider a gift today at www.mela-mn.org. Thank you for being part of this work and for believing in what we do.

With Gratitude,
Ashley Jacobson, MD
Medical Director
