Moving forward in 2011

Getting away from their comfort zones and living in the community far away from their own families are some of the tough realities the three young nurses have been facing with. Realizing the great need to help the needy, sick and the poor, they let go of the plans in going abroad.  It is a real sacrifice for others—no riches to gain, nor fame nor honor; but a humble experience worth cherish for a lifetime because lives have been saved, more and more each day.

Jerrani Abando, Jaspere John Delos Reyes and Efraim Ninalga are the three nurses who answered to this great need. Jerrani and Efraim are from La Union and Jaspere John is from Cavite. The three nurses are serving mostly Tagbanwas, Palawanos and local residents in their work place.

Mission Field Project is a healthcare program of the Global Ministries of Missionary Nurses Inc. that started in Palawan, Philippines. It helped more than 9,000 individuals through its support services in project partner hospital, rural health nursing, medical mission, and among other activities.

Currently, the project site is located in Barangay Sagpangan, Aborlan, Republic of the Philippines, with three full time nurses working in the community and project partner hospital.

GMMN is a non-stock, non-profit organization that is committed in helping people in rural and remote areas creating hope and empowering lives, founded in December 2008. It started to operate thereafter, and formally registered at the Securities and Exchange Commission in January 12, 2010 and in Bureau of Internal Revenue in May 7, 2010.

It all started through friendship online with common interests and goals in life. Now, GMMN is a full pledged organization and is very thankful of the help and support of different people around the world, above all, to God Almighty for the life and the calling to serve.

This 2011, Mission Field is mulling to open more project sites in Palawan. More likely will be in Taytay, Roxas, Brooke’s Point and Quezon, depending on the responses of the respective local government units. Two nurses will work in every site for at least one year, and the host municipality will take charge of the food subsidy and accommodation of our nurses.

These nurses are doing check-ups, health promotions, referrals, assistance through immunizations with the rural health units, first aids, emergency managements, community trainings, and among others.

GMMN is looking forward increasing the scope of its services and programs to serve more and more poor individuals and families. And this is only possible because of your help and cooperation.

GMMN celebrates 2nd Annual Foundation with Badjaos

160 Bajaos were benefited during the Christmas treat of GMMN, CSWD and Bantay Bata 163 last December 21, 2010 at Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines

PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, PALAWAN — The rain started drizzling, not long it poured. Still,  GMMN, which celebrates its 2nd annual foundation this month, was on a mission to extend the spirit of love this Christmas season with 110 children and 50 mothers of Badjao tribe in the morning of December 21, 2010.

Dubbed as L.E.T.S Celebrate Christmas Day Camp (Life skills, Environment, Team Work and Sports), the activity was spearheaded by the Global Ministries of Missionary Nurses Inc. with Von Carlo L. Hechanova as team leader, in cooperation with the City Social Welfare Development,  Bantay Bata 163 and a number of volunteers, Amerson Rivera,  Madel Petalcorin, Rean Bridgette Seracarpio, and Mary Andrea Mangga.

The beneficiaries were treated with parlor games, given with gift packs and offered sumptuous meals. All went home loaded with joy and love in their hearts. The event, which was held at the Children’s Park, was successfully launched while the rain was pouring heavily then stopped eventually, leaving all attendees fully satisfied and happy.

GMMN would like to thank its donors and supporters, M.Mangga c/o J.Delos Reyes, E. Juanich, J.Fallurin c/o E.Maranon, R.Salavante, E.Maranon, N.Mauricio, N.de Asis, Mr./Mrs. Consulta, A.Catap, K.Santomin, L.Alingasa, and H. Capistrano in making this event a success.

Last December 2, similar activity was held at Barangay Sagpangan in the municipality of Aborlan with 32 undernourished children, pregnant and post natal mothers were fed as part of GMMN’s community service program.

Founded in December 2008, the Global Ministries of Missionary Nurses Inc. has been extending its help in Palawan and some key areas in the Philippines, offering free health care services in remote and rural areas.
