ART SALE
In January 2019 and 2020, a Fredonia group has traveled to Honduras to conduct medical
brigades. We have done an art fundraiser each year to obtain money to pay for medicine and
health supplies that we will bring from Fredonia. As in past years, local artists have donated
items that we are selling to raise funds to purchase medicine and medical supplies.
There were 15 students planning to go in January 2022, but all January study abroad courses
were recently cancelled by SUNY. The funds raised this year will go to the purchase of supplies
and medicine for the January 2023 program.
For the medical brigades, we will travel with our Honduran hosts to small rural communities and
set up day-long health clinics in a school or community center. Community members are
welcome at the health clinics where they will see a physician and receive medication. We will
also provide vitamins and dental supplies to the clinic visitors. There is no cost to the visitors to
the clinic.
Many local artists have donated items for this fundraiser. The Fredonia Honduras Health Care
class expresses its heartfelt thanks to the artists and those who purchase art and/or make
donations for the medical supplies and trip costs.
