Earth Mission VISION: We want to see all people in remote Karen areas have access to high quality healthcare.

We have officially met our $25,000 goal to cover the cost of shipping $500,000-worth of medical supplies from the USA to our hospitals in Myanmar. These critical supplies will enable our doctors and PAs to save lives. We couldn't have done it without all YOU who donated.

These are traditional hand-woven Karen garments, and they're still an important part of normal Karen life here at RTC, most notably at church each Sunday. They're a testament to tradition, patience, and work lovingly done.

Our Surgical PAs take turns covering our Mobile Karen Surgical Hospital (MKSH) near the front lines.

This team can triage, resuscitate, and stabilize patients, then transfer them to somewhere with a higher level of care as needed. Often they place chest tubes, do blood transfusions, and practice wound care. They perform amputations, if needed.

Having this caliber of health care near the scene of injury has saved many lives and limbs, especially during the rainy season, when getting the patient to our main hospital could take days.

The MKSH team does more than provide medical services; they offer hope that someone cares and stands ready to help the wounded.

For Naw Klee Moo Paw, one of our Year 2 PA students, her goal of becoming a medical professional is starting to feel like reality. As she practices the things she learns — inserting an IV cannula or urinary catheter, giving a nebulizer treatment, providing oxygen, or assisting with dressing changes — it "makes everything feel real and exciting," she says. “I feel like I am stepping into the real medical world that I’ve always wanted to be part of. Even though much of my role is still observation, I am eager to learn and ready to practice new skills whenever I have the chance.”

Help us transport $500K in medical supplies to support our staff out here in Myanmar. The last hurtle is $25K for shipping; more info here: https://earthmission-bloom.kindful.com/?campaign=1389031

We’ve just been approved to receive a large medical supplies donation — valued at $500,000 — from SOS Louisville, a charity that rescues unused supplies destined for landfills and gets them into the hands of medical missions across the world.

The timing of this feels like one of those God things. Just recently, we started dreaming up new ways to support our PA graduates in the field. One idea is a distribution center to get medical supplies and medicine to clinics in remote areas of Karen State.

SOS Louisville’s generous donation of more than 317,000 pieces of supplies will help get it started! All we have to do is cover shipping. From start to finish, it will cost roughly $25,000 and take a few months to ship the supplies from Kentucky to the Rain Tree Clinic.

We need your help to get it here, and the time to ship is now. With rainy season ending soon, the race is on to get essential supplies delivered into Karen State before the rains begin again in April.

By raising $25,000 now, we can safely get this massive quantity of supplies in the hands of our PAs before the window of opportunity closes.

God loves to do impossible things, and He especially loves to do it through His people. Would you help by giving or sharing with your community?

Thank you for being part of the mission.

October was a big month for us; rainy season finally began to slow, and we celebrated 10 years of being an established foundation in Thailand. The Burmese Festival of Light took place, PA students practiced their ultrasound techniques, and we managed to squeeze in some friendly volleyball games, too.

With rainy season finally over, we expect to start seeing a higher volume of patients again. The work continues!

When the natural farming folks hosted Bible study in their training area, this is how we reached them. These bridges are sturdier than they look, but they can be a little terrifying to cross if you're not used to it!

In October, we celebrated the Burmese Thadingyut Festival, or the Festival of Light. It takes place every year on the full moon day of the Burmese lunar month of Thadingyut, traditionally held at the end of rainy season. We're certainly hoping that the rains subside soon and travel becomes a little easier in Myanmar/Burma.

Ten years ago this October, we registered Earth Mission Asia as a nonprofit foundation in Thailand. It was so good to be able to get together as a group a decade later to thank God for His wisdom, grace, and protection through both good and bad times. And we took the opportunity to thank our dedicated staff members as well.

Thank you to all of our guests who were able to come and celebrate with us! We couldn't do this without your support.

Nothing stops the flow of patients; not even rainy season. But as the weather finally starts to improve (albeit slowly), we can expect to start seeing a greater influx of patients to RTC. Thank you to those who support us; you're the reason we have the resources to care for people in need.

Health for the Hidden

The Karen are a people group concentrated along the Thai-Myanmar border. As peace in Myanmar struggles forward, many Karens still scratch out a living as farmers. In mountain and jungle areas, little is left over for education or healthcare.

Since 2015, Earth Mission Asia has been operating a five-year Physician Assistant training program that is specifically designed around problems commonly found in rural villages. We are also developing training programs needed to support healthcare teams in in the jungle (i.e. engineering technology and administration). Our strategies are especially focused on empowering students from these areas.
