Speaker: Duane Younger, Medical Teams International

Medical Teams International:  Who They Are and What They Do. 

Mr. Duane Younger, himself a volunteer with Medical Teams International, will explain what the organization is and what types of things it involves itself in around the world. Typically, those are natural disasters, conflicts, and responses to extreme poverty.  Mr. Younger will discuss some of the current hot spots around the world, and what the organization does at home  (e.g., mobile dental clinics).  He will also talk about his own personal short-term mission in Guatemala and provide about one minute on MTI financials.
