Honduras: Emergency Evac, Medical Supplies, and More Power

Emergency Medical Evacuation
On Sunday Wes received a call requesting an emergency medical evacuation for a critically wounded gunshot victim up the village of Wampu. Wes made the flight to Wampu, picked the patient up, and safely transported him to Puerto Lempira for the life-saving medical care required.

Loading the patient into our 206.

Additional Medical Supplies Donated To Rus Rus
Hospital Rus Rus received another 206 load of donated medical supplies. Wes flew to the island of Roatan to retrieve this blessing. With the Stateside donations already received, the pharmacy in Rus Rus is now fully stocked!

Boxes and boxes of medicine and medical supplies loaded in our 206!

New Generator in Rus Rus
A new generator was recently purchased in the US; shipped to the port of La Ceiba in two crates; trucked to the main airport; picked up and flown into Rus Rus by Wes; assembled, installed, and hooked into an newly wired air base/hospital power grid! This high efficiency generator has the capacity to power our entire base using 1/6th the fuel of the existing, older/larger generator on site. More power, less fuel. It's win-win in Rus Rus!
