Local [Canadian] paramedic will take clean water to Cambodia

By Lynda Hillman-Rapley

Ontario, Canada

One family of seven, one bucket equals one year of clean water for the outlining communities of Siemreap Cambodia. And thanks to Global Medic, local paramedic Curtis Daboll, and a team of 14 other volunteers a capacity building mission will help that area.

Daboll, a Sarnia Lambton paramedic said their mission while in the country will be to organize and operate medical clinics, provide first aid training and coordinate the delivery and installation of AquaPur water purification units. He has purchased 60 of these units at a cost to him of $50 per unit.

Daboll is providing rural villagers who have been displaced by war and disaster with the single most basic element necessary to life-clean drinking water. Global medic is an operational arm of the David McAnthony Gibson Foundation (DMGF). He is hoping the community will reach out and help with his fundraising goals to help pay for this endeavour. He would be pleased to talk to any group who would like to know more about this global action.

The scale of the global water and particularly the sanitation crisis is shocking and almost unfathomable to us who have the privilege of turning on taps all over our houses full of clean water and our pick of "thrones" on which to sit. ??900 million people lack access to clean drinking water ?2.6 Billion people have no access to sanitation.

DMGF was created in the spring of 1998 in honour of David McAntony Gibson, who tragically lost his life on February 7, 1998.

A remarkable man who believed in taking the time to help those around him both near and far, Mr. Gibson will be remembered by his friends, family and peers as caring, compassionate and dedicated. In keeping with David's spirit, DMGF is designed to help those in need around the world by providing relief supplies and equipment, and has adopted "Serving the Global Community" as its motto.

DMGF will launch programs designed to strengthen the delivery of emergency medical services in the Third world. These objectives will be obtained by the procurement of equipment, medicine, and supplies, as well as funding the delivery of training packages.

The bottom line is simple: DMGF will strive to be an efficient aid agency that delivers the maximum amount of aid with a minimum operating cost.
