| In this season of giving thanks, The Oxford Club looks to help people in the most fragile of situations. We try to help where we believe our support is needed most. We often give to causes we feel most passionate about. These charities are sometimes found in our own backyard... but at other times, they're in faraway lands. Sadly, there's never scarcity when it comes to places and people in dire need. And yes, I think everyone can agree that giving feels good - for ourselves personally and for our businesses. (Plus, we can get a good tax deduction to boot!) But we want to be careful and confident that our donations are going to programs that are run effectively - serving the people we want to support. I'm sure you feel the same way. Well, look no further... I urge you to consider supporting the highly professional and dedicated team of The Roberto Clemente Health Clinic. This small nonprofit health center is located in a rural area of Nicaragua, the second-poorest country in the Americas. The Clinic was founded by The Oxford Club's longtime CEO, Julia Guth, in 2004. I've personally visited the Clinic and have seen firsthand the incredible value it provides the community. Without this team of 26 doctors, nurses, and program staff, tens of thousands of people would go without medicines, clean water, and nutritional support. The Clinic is open 24/7. It has the only off-road ambulance in the region, providing emergency stabilization and transportation to hospitals. The team's outreach program reaches remote villages on flooded roads, delivering medicines and providing examinations. The Clinic's team even teaches families how to grow their own organic food. And it does so on a very small budget. |
