6th Annual PHP Golf Tournament, July 10-09

The 6th annual golf tournament for the Panama Health Project was held at the Club de Golf Belle Vue, in the town of Lery. I would like to present you the golfers who generously participated to this great fundraising event!

The Panama Health Project would like to take a moment to warmly Thank each of them for their great contribution! Their kind support will allow the PHP to continue providing help to those in need in Colon, Panama.

About the Panama Health Project

The Panama Health Project (PHP) is a small Canadian organization which is trying to make a difference in the "forgotten city" of Colon, Panama.

Colon has numerous problems which include violence, poor education, high crime rate, and social injustices which include gender and racial discrimination, deplorable living conditions, broken homes, hunger and malnutrition.

The PHP works in two local groups:

The Pastoral Penitentiary Group supports the prison population of Colon. Fr. Alan McLellan, the prison chaplain works tirelessly for the rights of the men and women incarcerated. PHP assists by obtaining medicines for the treatment of the prisoners.

MUCEC/NICEC
Mujeres/Ninos Colonenses en Camino
Women/Children of Colon Walking Together, is a centre which provides women and children with ongoing formation as well as workshops to assist mothers in their personal development and to improve their chances of being able to provide for their families.
