Background (as much as I know)

Didi Ananda Ruchira (whom some of you may know from the Minutus and other homeopathy chat lists) trained at least one of the homeopaths, Joseph in Kenya and sent him to Ghana.  He is involved in clinics set up in Accra, the capitol city, and in at least two villages.

Apparently there are also homeopaths in Kumasi, the second largest city, although I have not been able to make contact with them.

Linda Shannon and Sheila Ryan from the UK are assisting the Ghanaian clinics with their presence and with remedies, supplies, support, etc.  They next plan to be in Ghana next fall.

The assistance I’m seeking:

The clinic in Accra has a modest set of LM remedies.  If American homeopaths could donate small vials of LM 1 or LM 2 pellets, that would be most helpful.  Below I’ve posted the remedies list that Linda Shannon sent of remedies in the Ghana clinic. 

It seems the size vial most useful to them for LM storage is the ½ dram or 5 gm. vial, the tall, not the squatty ½ dram vial, I believe they are 32 or 35 mm tall.  (I believe in supplying aid in the manner most useful to the person or entity receiving the aid.  Hence the request for remedies in the tall ½ dram vials.)

They apparently have a much larger selection of 30C and above C potency remedies in medicating potency form.  Linda said they use the lower potency remedies very effectively in the villages.  I offered to bring very low potency X and C remedies in pellet form, but they said they can’t use them—the medicating potencies are what they need for C potency remedies.  They want the LM remedies in pellets.

If you wish to donate money to their American 50lc 3 tax deductible charity, make checks to "AMURT." Be sure to note on the check "for Abha Light, Ghana" and send to:
AMURT
6810 Tilden Lane
Rockville MD, USA 20852

Funds could be designated to support the homeopathy clinics in Ghana and to purchase medicating potencies of the polycrests in 6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X.  They also need unmedicated pellets.  Didi Ruchira indicated 5 lb. of #20 pellets and ½ lb of the #10 pellets would be most useful.

I will be taking about 100 of 15 ml. dropper bottles for them to use with the LMs.  Any additional donations of dropper bottles would be put to good use by the clinics.  I would either hand carry the donated bottles or they could also be ordered from India and shipped to Ghana.

Why I’m going there:

My brother and his family are there, his wife got a Fulbright grant to teach computer science at a new university, Ashesi University, in Accra, the capitol city.  Ghana is where my brother and I lived with our parents in 1968-69 when our dad taught at the University of Ghana and I took my first year of university there.  So there will be an element of going home for me, even though the country has changed a lot in the last, almost 40 years.

Remedies Already in Ghana and How to Donate Remedies

 Here’s how donate remedies:

1.      Check the list below to see what remedies the clinics have and what remedies have already been donated.   Please email me through my website to let me know the remedies you will donate.

2.      Please put a reasonable amount of LM pellets into the vial.  Please use half dram vials (1/2 dram or 5 gm. vial). Fill the vial at least half full with LM pellets..  These remedies will probably be split into three parts to stock the three clinics this project run in Ghana, hence why at least one-half of the vial needs to be filled with pellets.

3.      Label the belly of the vial with the name of the remedy, the pharmacy it came from and the approximate date you purchased the remedy.  Cover the label with clear tape to protect it.

4.      Send the vials by no later than March 10, 2007 to
