- The economic situation in Zimbabwe is dire and beyond our imagination. We soon realized that many villagers could not even travel to the hospital due to huge economic constraints and some just too sick to walk for miles. As a result HFM sponsored the first Community Health Outreach at Lumene School. 13 doctors and dozens of other medical professionals volunteered their services and we provided the medication and medical supplies. They worked from sunrise to sunset until all medication and supplies ran out.
