American Vice-Consul Visits MCOW

Medical Clinic on Wheels (MCOW) has been functioning in Ukraine for more than 18 years. It visited a lot of places and received thousands of patients all over Ukraine. But for the first time in its history MCOW was visited by the representatives of US Embassy in Ukraine.

(In the photo MCOW team with consular people: Vice-Consul David Allen in the middle, his assistant Julia the first one from the right).

Vice-Consul David Allen and his assistant Julia were pleasantly surprised with what they saw at the Clinic. They visited MCOW when the buses were located in Terebovlya (small town in Ternopil region) examining patients from the local School for Deaf.

David Allen was very excited since he did not expect to see anything like that. He asked a lot of questions, was interested to know when and how MCOW began to function, how many patients it receives every day, who they are, what treatment and information is provided to the patients, how much time clinics spend on the road, etc.

David Allen is getting acquainted with a patient’s card filled by each person going to the doctor.

David Allen thanked MCOW staff for their important work and help provided to the needy people of Ukraine. MCOW personnel remained very happy too because they were privileged with a visit of such honorable guests.

Do Good!

Real spring has come to Ukraine and Medical Clinic on Wheels opened its’ traveling season. Ternopil Special School was the first place to visit in 2010. The School is called Special because children with special needs study there and they need a special approach.

Special School - the First Place Visited in 2010

This special approach can be expressed only by two short words: “Tvorit Dobro!” which means “Do Good!” Everybody at the School knows it very well because it is their motto (written in blue above the main entrance to the school)

These words are very familiar to Gift of Life. Gift of Life was created specifically to do good to Ukrainian people. ULC (Ukrainian Lutheran Church) Deaconess Lyudmyla who travels with the clinics has been always following this principle. Doing good is impossible without sincere smile…

“The Life of Jesus Christ” books are given to the patients. Jesus Christ by His own deeds showed the best example of how to do good to people. Deaconees Lyudmyla always tells about it to MCOW patients taking care of their spiritual health.

MCOW doctors also do good to the patients taking care of their physical health.

They always do it with warm attitude and special care as if it is their child.

With this wonderful Thank You letter Ternopil Special School expressed its’ gratitude to GoL Clinic on Wheels “For the medical aid provided with special tactfulness and high professionalism”. A very big THANK YOU is sent to GoL administration and sponsors who cultivate the good things provided to Ukrainian people in need.
