November 9th 2019 - Bridging Ethiopia held its 1st awarness event on November 9th 2019 10AM - 2PM at The Mesfin's Farm in Columbia, Missouri. Over 30 proffesionals in the healthcare, engineering and IT had registered and attended the event so we can help prepare for the June 2020 voluneering event. The event brought awareness of the huge gap that exists between the US and other places that are not so fortunate countries such as Ethiopia. Although most if not all of the services are fully voluntary, there are some needs that would aid to provide surgical instrumentations, teaching materials, manuals and developing standards.
