Ester In America

Esther Scarborough, the medical director for IFC in Indonesia, will be in Los Angeles to speak at a fundraiser. Esther has already been to Singapore and Hong Kong. She is an inspiring speaker and advocate for the poor. Esther was invited by Rebecca Grossman of the Grossman Burn Foundation (GBF) to speak at her fundraiser on October 8.

IFC has many partners and friends in L.A. This will be like a homecoming for Esther. She knows so many people and will find other doors to open while she is there. She is interested in the proposal of a burn unit at our base. This is a dream and the partnership with GBF could result in the ability to care for burn injuries at our base in Indonesia. This would be great news for those in the remote North Maluku and North Sulawesi region of Indonesia who are injured due to a burn accident.

Well--Esther arrives tomorrow. Is L.A. ready for Esther?
