Together We Stand, United In Love “In the Name of Love” Planning Committee Week Two Report 2020/02/24 - 2020/03/01

This was a busy but happy week for the planning committee. As soon as we received a portion of donations last week, we immediately purchased 20 oxygen concentrators and sent them to five hospitals in . On the morning of Monday, Feb. 24, we purchased an additional 10 oxygen concentrators to be sent to another three hospitals. These eight hospitals were the result of a careful selection process and were determined to have the most urgent need on the frontlines. Since purchasing the devices, we have kept a watchful eye on their movements every day. Though our shipments encountered delays due to road closures in certain regions, as of Mar. 01, 28 of the 30 donated oxygen concentrators have reached their intended hospitals. The other two are still en route to their destination of Wufeng Tujia Autonomous County No.2 People’s Hospital.
