Dear Friends,
I am often asked how HVO can accomplish so much with such a small staff and a rather limited budget. The answer is rather simple; we work as a team with our many partners. We build lasting relationships with our local institutions so, together, we can establish goals and objectives and meet the needs of the local providers and the communities they serve.
We partner with our sponsor organizations who support us with academic and financial resources and promote our work within their professional communities, to ensure that HVO receives well-qualified, committed volunteers. We work with corporate and organizational partners, and donors like you, who provide the financial resources to ensure that HVO recruits and places appropriate volunteers, establishes viable programs, and evaluates their impact.
HVO cannot do this work alone, but alongside our partners, we can make a difference. Last month, in his address to the 71st World Health Assembly, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director General of the World Health Organization, phrased this belief very eloquently. “By leveraging the experience, the skills, resources, and networks of our partners, our impact can be exponentially larger than if we were acting alone.”
Working together, we are strengthening global health care and improving patients’ lives. Thank you for your help in making this possible; we couldn’t do it without you!
Sincerely,
Nancy
