Monrovia – Partners of Bowier Trust Foundation Switzerland have donated an assorted medical supply to the Carver Mission Clinic located in ELWA Community outside the capital Monrovia.
Bowier Trust Foundation Switzerland was established in October 2016, by Felix Walz, who worked as an expat and lived in Liberia after more than 3 years, as a senior UN Police Advisor with UNMIL and the Liberia National Police.
Through Bowier Trust Foundation Switzerland Felix, Swiss national and senior Police Captain of the State Police Zürich Switzerland, continues to build on the work he has done over the past three years, predominantly in the field of Community Partnership Building Activities to contribute to general Peace Keeping Activities in Liberia.
The foundation organizes and promotes an exchange of students and instructors between Liberia and Swiss enterprises and education institutions in order to attain its purpose.
Making the donation Tuesday at the Carver Mission Clinic, which provides general medical, laboratory, eye services, as well as antenatal and maternal care, a German nurse based in Switzerland, Mr. Marcel Buchmann, said he was doing so on behalf of couple of nurses in Switzerland including himself.
Buchmann, who is visiting Liberia for the first time, disclosed that his mission to Liberia was a one of fact-finding, aimed at reporting home so that the needed assistance can be channeled to Liberia to help Carver Mission Clinic and the Benson Hospital in their areas of needs.
He expressed the hope that the donated items would go a long way in assisting the clinic that is in dire need of equipment and supplies.
He said Bowier Trust Foundation Switzerland Founder, Felix Walz, encouraged him and other partners to get involved with assisting health institutions in the country, starting with the Carver Mission Clinic and Benson Hospital, together with which a TOT (Trainers of Trainers) agreement is expected to be forged to have nurses from Switzerland come to train Liberian nurses.
He intimated that he was impressed with Carver Mission, which also runs the Mabel McCombs College of Health Science, noting that with limited materials and the lack of essential equipment, the team was still doing a good job.
“To the people of Liberia, I want to come back, I want to help you – to the people of Switzerland, I want to show you what the people need here, and I want some money from you for that” [purpose], he said.
Receiving the donation on behalf of Carver Mission Clinic, the Dean of Mabel McCombs College of Health Science, Monrovia Bible College, Madam C. Lawuo Gwesa, thanked Buchmann and the rest of the partners, assuring that the donated materials will be used for the purposes for which they are intended.
