Mission Opportunity
Providing Oral Hygiene Kits for SWOSU medical mission to Panama
The Lutheran Campus Ministry and the three partner churches have been invited to help assemble oral hygiene kits to be distributed in Panama this Spring.
Dr. Nina Morris (Peace, Bessie) is a professor at the SWOSU College of Pharmacy. She and two other faculty members will be leading a group of pharmacy and nursing students on a medical mission trip in March.
As part of their trip, they will distribute as many oral hygiene kits as possible (hopefully at least 400 to 500).
This is a great opportunity for our faith partnership to work together with our campus ministry and the local community!

The Hygiene Packs should include:
- Tube of toothpaste (smallish)
- Toothbrush (adult or child size)
- Dental Floss
- Shampoo (small/travel size)
- Lotion (small/travel size)
- Nail clippers
- Bar of Soap (small)
You can assemble the kits yourself to donate, or you can donate some or all the materials for the kits.
We will be collecting the kits and materials through Sunday, February 23.
The non-assembled materials will be packed into kits by students from the campus ministry and catechism class(es).
For more information, please contact Jayden Evans, Campus Ministry Peer Minister at 580-214-0013 or jevans4@sbcglobal.net.

More Details About the Trip:
The medical mission trip will be done in conjunction with a group called Global Brigades Association. The college's affiliation with Global Brigades came about because of the new rural health initiative that has been started at the College of Pharmacy.
According to Nina Morris, the group will be led by "three pharmacy faculty (including me), one nursing faculty, and our daughter, Sarah Purdon, who is a registered nurse as a part of the local team."
The local coordinator for the trip is Dr Randy Curry, College of Pharmacy
