Oktoberfest 2011

Oktoberfest 2011 was a huge success. Michael Mertz was outstanding as the auctioneer and host. We all appreciate his generosity for allowing us to use his lovely home for the event that raised $15,000. And many thanks to all for the contributions and auction items and for those of you who donated during the auction and to all of you who attended. The Oompa band and the great food and beer from Uberstein were enjoyed by all. See Photos >>

Hospital Sisters Mission Outreach Donation

The Hospital Sisters Mission Outreach donated an entire container of medical supplies and equipment that covers everything from beds to sterilized cotton balls. A delegation from the village will meet the ship and supervise the transport of the goods the first week of January when it arrives at the port in Abidjan.

"The ICMC is devoted to supporting Cote d'Ivoire's growing generations by financing key programs in the region to provide medical and social enrichment.

We are devoted to total community involvement through a partnership with village leaders. Our management of this project will serve the community for many years to come."

Village Updates

The nurse and midwife have their housing established and are ready for the much anticipated opening of the clinic in January.

It was decided by the villagers that every family will donate $30 per year so that they can visit the clinic and that will help to support it. Our intention is that everyone will have full access to healthcare. Since some families make as little as $1 per day the fee is out of the question for them. We are hoping to raise enough to support those who cannot afford it and ICMC is asking our supporters to send in $30 for a family. There are approximately 5000 people in the surrounding area who will benefit from professional affordable healthcare. Please donate and support a family!
