Meet the Group from MSU

The purpose of the November 2007 project is to identify, assess and document a group of children and adults who have communicative difficulties that are associated with or result from cleft lip and/or cleft palate. From this group of children and adults a subset will be followed in a future project, most likely in March 2008. A group of 10 graduate students from the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders who are enrolled in CSD 823J, "Medical Aspects of Speech-Language Pathology" will be at the Centro de Salud in Nic te Ha. Dr. Peter LaPine will direct and coordinate all aspects of the project. Clinical supervision will be provided by Juile Tobin, M.A., a speech-language pathologist. (Julie has already participated in a previous MSU project with Angel Notion!) As always, the relationship between Michigan State University and Angel Notion brings many benefits to the people of Quintana Roo. This upcoming project will also develop the internet linkage between MSU's main campus in East Lansing and any Angel Notion project, regardless of where that project may be located. The internet link will in the future lead to research and teaching opportunities for MSU faculty and students; it will provide a source of training for young mothers with handicapped children and it will link Centro de Salud with programs and personnel at MSU.

The members of the November project are pictured here. Pictures of several others are not yet available but will be posted soon.

Angel Notion continues to progress and succeed in Playa del Carmen. Together with MSU, Angel Notion achieves its goal: "children become priority, and people like you make a difference."


Ashley Blom (below) will develop the language assessment components.



Kristen Owns (above) will work with Annie O'Brien on the speech development components.





Ryan Dewey (below) will develop the hearing screening, Melisa Herta (right) will develop the language assessment for infants and toddlers, and Erin Werner (lower right) is compiling the oral mechanism components.

The Team from Michigan State is coming back to Playa del Carmen! Dr. Peter LaPine and a group of graduate students will return to work with Angel Notion for the 21st project together. See http://www.comdis.msu.edu/ for some additional information.




































The group will arrive from the chilly temperatures of Michigan on November 7, 2007. The goals for this project are to identify a pool of persons with cleft lip and/or cleft palate, or significant craniofacial anomalies, that can be seen by future teams. One specific goal is to establish an internet connection via real-time video links between the clinic in Nic te Ha and the main campus of Michigan State University (http://www.msu.edu/). Another goal of the November visit is to continue to develop and secure the research opportunities in the Yucatan that were begun in the Playa/MSU Summit in May 2007.

update august

Angel Notion Update August 2007

Back in to action!

Thanks to all of you who participated in the fund raisers, prayer circles, community support for ME! So you all know, I was whisked away to have a laser surgery in the end of May, I ended up at the Mayo clinic for open spine surgery June 12th with Dr. Lyons the head of Neurosurgery (not what I expected). I have to tell all of you that this was an AMAZING surgery! It felt like I was in and out in a matter of hours with a 6 week recovery. I feel better than I have in years and now have a huge passion for people living in pain; the pain was excruciating and endless. I am now pain free and so thankful for each and every one of you and your endless support to me and the organization thru this difficult time.

In the mean time, much has been accomplished with the organization and the clinic.

The clinic continues to serve the community. We have over 23 doctors and specialists serving as volunteers in the clinic Monday thru Friday. There continues to be a steady flow of medical teams/missions from the US (we are always looking for more to come). We are very involved with diabetes issues and preventative care, diagnosing women’s cancer and providing treatment, stress and muscular relief, counseling for abused women and children, pediatrics, dental and orthodontics, optical and vision therapy, just to mention a few. We have served more than 100,000 people in less than 4 years! Again, this is only able to happen with your support!

Please consider us this year as your Organization to support.

The organization is involved with out side organizations and Universities in Mexico, Canada and the US. Our goal is community health and education offering services not yet available to any of us in the state of Quintana Roo. Diabetes is the number one killer of men and women in the state of Quintana Roo; Heart attacks are the number 2 killer! If you have interest in supporting these projects, please contact us.info@angelnotion.com

5 children’s lives were saved!

Remember the fundraisers we held January thru April?

It all started after our successful Christmas and three king’s celebration in the Riviera Maya. 14 children were diagnosed with heart problems, Dr. Kirk Milhoan, and his team returned to Playa del Carmen for the 2nd time in 5 months. Their medical team saw hundreds of children whose parents felt they needed an examination. We held this mission in the Angel Notion clinic serving Playa and Cancun, as well in the middle of the Mayan Jungle.

Thanks to all of our Angel Notion sponsors and supporters! We have literally saved 5 children’s lives. The price to save one of these little angels only cost 15,000.00. It seems so little compared to the impact that is made on an entire family who is only lacking money to save their child’s life. It seems so unfair, but with our program we work together – parents, the clinic, the medical team, the events and radio programs and you! We completed this mission with community support. Thanks to Xcaret, Calica, coco bongo, Nabors of Mexico, Santa Rosa Cristus Children’s Hospital, Dr. Jorge Salazar, Samantha Stepelton, Edali and her team in San Antonio, The Ronald Mc Donald House, American Airlines, Red Eye of Mexico city and Paris Delanes tye dye sky and everyone else who helped us to save lives.

Our needs in the clinic:

We need your continued support for the clinic. Your donations keep the clinic alive. You can support one of our many needs:

Your donation at work:

  • Help us build our new laundry area: $1500.00
  • Support a child’s need for medical care including medications, and treatment:
  • Sponsor a mother with cancer:
  • Sponsor clinic needs like administration, computers, office expenses and gas
  • Provide rooms and food for medical missionaries
  • Purchase of nutrition for children on liquid diets
  • Support an accident victim who has special medical needs
  • Provide shelter for an abused woman and her kids
  • Each of these areas of support will vary depending on the case and the care.

Special missions and needs:

There are still 7 children on the list that need this urgent surgery! For a donation of 15,000.00 you too can save a child’s life. Contact us at info@angelnotion.com.

We have a need for clothing and other supplies. You can warm these children by giving the basics. We will give to all ages of kids, from babies to teenagers and older people: My goal is to give 100 children complete outfits for the cold months to come. Here is what we need.

Blankets

Shoes

Socks

Underwear

Pants

Shirts

Dresses

Back packs

School supplies

Rain coats

Sweatshirts

Jackets

Ensure and Pediasure nutritional products

Diapers for babies and adults

These items can be brought to the clinic for distribution in October. If you would like to participate in this mission, come on out to the clinic or contact us info@angelnotion.com, and we will give you more information on dates.

It is also time to start thinking about Christmas: If you are coming to Playa, Angel Notion and the Bomberos (Fire department) would love your participation in the Christmas Project 2007. You can donate toys and or help us raise funds to purchase toys. Please contact us if you have interest in helping us this year at info@angelnotion.com.

This is the circumstances that these 12 families are coming up against. The good news is that 4 our children have been sponsored which means there are 8 left. Xcaret has sponsored Jolet, Calica has sponsored Sammy, Bernie from El faro has sponsored Jesus, The city of Playa Del Carmen has sponsored Jose Luis from the zona Maya
We need you to help us sponsor the other 8 children who are desperately holding their breath to a chance to live.

March 2007 update

Angel Notion Update March 2007

The fundraising concerts in February were a big success, thanks to Paris Delane and the late Paul Delay! Enough funds were raised to sponsor four children who desperately need open-heart surgery (at 13,500 usd per child!). These kids will be flying to Texas as soon as we get a confirmed date from Dr. Jorge Salazar and the Santa Rosa Children’s hospital.
Our immediate needs for this mission are:
1. Two children are still in urgent need of funding for open heart surgery
2. We need Spanish/English translators with US visas (or US passport holders) who can travel with the children to San Antonio, Texas at the end of March or the beginning of April, 2007. These translators will assist mothers/kids during the time of surgery and healing. Depending on each child’s recovery, it is a 7 day, all-expense paid trip. This is a great way for a patient and caring person to get involved in their community.
*Please contact Lavonna Redman at (cell) 044 984 100 5525
Angel Notion’s goal has always been to help at least one child every day, and in the nine years we have existed, we have met and exceeded those goals. To date, Angel Notion has helped thousands of sick and needy people. For the past couple of years, Angel Notion has had a mission to build a cardiology center for babies that are born with heart defects; however our goals have recently expanded to include a cardiology center that will help both children and adults. Heart attacks have become the number 2 killer in the state of Quintana Roo, with the number one killer being diabetes. Our dream Cardiology center will provide education, medical care, alternative options, prevention, technology and much more through cooperation with international and Mexican universities and institutions who will come together to offer solutions for the people of Quintana Roo. Please help us make those dreams come true. Contact Lavonna if you have an interest in participating in this mission.

MAYA/MSU Cooperation Initiative March 21-25!

Angel Notion’s ongoing relationship with MSU grows every stronger! MSU and Angel Notion are meeting from March 21-25 in a Cooperation Initiative Meeting. Our goal has always been to offer a range of services and education; we have grown to a point where MSU and Mexico are going to meet to see in what ways we can assist in the growth, education, health care in the state of Quintana ROO.
We need your participation to make this a success!
