Transcription

1 OID BACKGROUND In 1990, Dr. Roy Streete and a group of caring individuals, who wanted to improve quality of life for people living in the underserved areas of the world, founded The Organization for International Development, Inc. (OID). OID is concerned not only with the healthcare and economic needs of the poor but also with their training, educational and employment needs; so that they may be better able to provide for themselves and their families. OID is a nonprofit, nonpolitical organization registered by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c )(3)organization which makes all contributions tax deductible. The group is composed of professionals in the fields of education, healthcare, engineering, computer science and technology. As an organization we have grown substantially and are now able to provide services, which include but not limited to dental care, medical treatment, nursing care, physical therapy education and counseling on disease prevention and health maintenance. MISSION STATEMENT The mission of OID is to promote and preserve the health, welfare and physical well being of the poverty-stricken and needy throughout the world by engaging in charitable work projects. OBJECTIVES To aid and assist indigent adults and children in the underserved areas of the world. To help such individuals and institutions obtain food, clothing, medicine, general health information, educational supplies and equipment. Recruit and assist volunteers who are willing to set up projects in their areas of Interest and expertise. Identify the training, education and health needs of targeted communities by cooperating with the regional health and education departments and local community leaders. Develop, promote and sponsor programs that will address these needs; and monitor and evaluate the outcomes. Our long-range goals include working in collaboration with the Ministry of Health & Education and other professionals residing in host countries and to supplement their efforts by acting as a conduit to furnish needed supplies and equipment, thus enabling them to continue until our next visit. MOTTO Helping Others To Help Themselves

2 CHAIRMAN S MESSAGE The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one s self to others. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Time and time again we see that clearly demonstrated in the acts of the volunteers of this organization. The major snow storm in New York in January did not dampen the efforts of some fifty (50) volunteers who made their way to Jamaica. On the mission daily they provided a myriad of health care services to over 300 patients. The collaborative efforts with the Jamaica Health Department and NGO s such as Missionaries of the Poor and The Diabetes Association allowed for their staff to join us in providing services in the most underserved areas on the island. In addition to Jamaica in this our 26 th year of service to humanity we will be traveling to Haiti at the end of the month. This time we are scheduled to work in the northern part of the island where the healthcare needs are anticipated to mirror the areas of the island that we have worked in the past. In 2017 we plan to be in Dominican Republic for the first time, the exact date to be finalized. In August 2017 we will be traveling to Nigeria and Ghana which was postponed last year due to the Ebola virus outbreak in the West Africa Region. Please continue to support our Fundraising efforts particularly the Gala on Saturday, December 3, 2016 here at the Greentree Country Club in New Rochelle. Remember without your support we can t uphold our motto Helping others to help themselves. Thank you again for your dedication to the cause! Roy W. Streete, DDS, MPH Chairman OID

3 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Welcome to our 26th Anniversary celebrations. In celebrating another year of service to humanity we continue to provide quality health screenings and treatments to the vulnerable populations in the communities visited annually. In sustaining these well needed services and engendering partnerships with numerous sponsors our goals are attained. In light of the constant need and increasing cost annually for our services internationally and locally our fundraising continues to be challenging. Subsequently, due to the unwavering support of members, friends, and sponsors we are able to preserve the missions and goals of OID. Thanks to our volunteers, your strength, courage, dedication to our mission and objectives year after year is immeasurable. Congratulations and thanks to all who continue to support us on this journey of service to humanity. You are to be revered and commended as you persevere. To our honorees Dr Andrea Barrett-Belgrave, OID s volunteer dentist, Ena Wright, RN, Former Vice President OID and Philanthropic donors Scholes Electric and Communication and ASCO Services congratulations on your accomplishments. Finally, I ask for you to persist in your commitment to service to humanity, as I leave you with this question have we done all we can for humanity?"

Dr. Barrett attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey at the age of sixteen and graduated with a Bachelor s of Science (B.Sc) in Biology four years later. Upon completion of her college degree she enrolled in Howard University of College of Dentistry and subsequently she received her Doctoral of Dental Science (DDS) in Dr. Barrett is currently pursuing her MPH (Masters of Public Health) from Rutgers University with a concentration in Dental Public Health as it is her dream to return to Jamaica upon retiring from private practice in approximately five years and become an effective minister of health. Dr. Barrett has been a loyal O.I.D. volunteer for the past twenty-one years, and claims she missed out on other inaugural mission trip in 1990 only because she was pregnant with her first daughter at the time. Dr. Barrett and husband, Dr. Gerald Belgrave, who is also a dentist and an O.I.D. volunteer, are the proud parents of two daughters, Brianna and Christina Belgrave. Volunteerism and giving back has always been a part of their family values. Her children have been going on mission trips since they were five years old giving away their used clothes and shoes as well as helping out in the dental department in any way that they could. Now as young adults, they still go on the mission trips with their college friends: Brianna has been to Ethiopia with the group and Christina has been on several trips to Jamaica and volunteers as a dental assistant. Her youngest daughter, Christina, is currently a first year dental student at Howard University and her eldest daughter, Brianna, is pursuing her MPH at George Washington University and plans to attend medical school after receiving her Master s degree.

Dr Barrett is a caring, giving and compassionate person who is always looking to help those in need. She possesses boundless streams of energy in her efforts to assist those who have been denied social and economic privileges and rights often becoming an outspoken and brazen spokesperson.

17 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease in which the body s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. This disease can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, kidneys, brain and other organs) the underlying cause of autoimmune diseases is no fully known. SLE is much more common in women than men. It can occur at any age, but appears most often in people between the ages of 10 and 50. African Americans and Asians are affected more often than people of other races. SYMPTOMS These vary from person to person and may come and go with periods of flare ups alternating with remissions. Almost everyone with Lupus has joint pain and swelling. Other symptoms include fatigue, fever, hair loss, the lupus butterfly rash on the face, chest pain when taking a deep breath, moth sores, sensitivity to sunlight and swollen lymph nodes. Other symptoms depend on which part of the body is affected: Brain and nervous system: headaches, seizures, numbness and visual problems Lungs: coughing up blood and breathing issues Kidney: swelling of legs and weight gain Skin: patchy skin color, fingers change color wen cold (Raynaud s Disease) Heart: abnormal heart rhythms. EXAMS AND TESTS To be diagnosed with Lupus, you must LUPUS: THE EPIDEMIC have at least 4 out of 11 common signs of the disease. The person must have a complete physical examination. Tests used to diagnose Lupus may include ; Antinuclear antibody (ANA), CBC with differential, urinalysis, Chest X-ray, ESR, liver function tests, serum creatinine. TREATMENT There is no cure for Lupus. The goal of treatment is to focus on improving the quality of life by controlling symptoms and minimizing flare ups. This starts with lifestyle modification including sun protection, and diet. Further treatment include but not limited to drugs like anti-inflammatories, steroids, antimalarial (hydroxylchloroquine) and low dose corticosteroid skin creams. Treatments for more severe SLE may include high-dose steroids and immunosuppressive drugs like methotrexate, azathioprine and cyclophosphamide. Side effects of these can be severe and the person has to be monitored carefully during this time. How well a person with lupus does depends on the severity of the disease. Possible complications may include blood clots, inflammation of the heart, stroke and lung damage. May have serious negative effects on the body during pregnancy and can lead to pregnancy complications even miscarriage. Counseling and Support Groups may be very helpful with the emotional issues involved. Unfortunately, over time SLE can damage or cause complications in the systems throughout the body.

24 ZIKA VIRUS Z ika virus, is mosquito-borne and was first identified in 1947 in Uganda, in rhesus monkeys. In 1952, it was identified in humans in Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. The virus has now been found in parts of Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific. There has been a rapid expansion of the disease, as it is now present in more than 13 countries. Zika is transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito from the Aedes genus; the same mosquito which transmits dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. It has been discovered that the virus can also be transmitted through sexual contact; being present in semen, in one identified case. The time between exposure to the virus and the presentation of symptoms is likely to be a few days. Persons affected, manifest with symptoms such as headache and fever, skin rashes, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, and malaise. In order to properly diagnose someone, laboratory test has to be performed for the presence of the virus in RNA of the blood or other body fluids (ie. urine or saliva). Zika virus does not require specific treatment. Persons affected should get adequate rest, drink a lot of fluids, treat pain and fever with analgesics and antipyretics respectively. If symptoms worsen, medical attention should be sought immediately. No vaccine is currently available for the virus. Prevention of the virus can be done by simply using mosquito repellent that contain N, N-diethyl-emethylbenzamide (DEET), 3-[N-acetyl-N-butyl] -aminopropionic acid ethyl ester (IR3535) or 1 -piperidinecarboxylic acid,2-(2-hydroxyethyl) -1-methylpropylester (icaridin); wearing clothes that cover most of the body, using window screens, closing doors and windows, and sleeping under a mosquito net. Prevention also includes limiting mosquito breeding sites: containers with water should be covered, media that can potentially harbor water must be cleaned or covered as well. The spraying of insecticides (specifically larvicides), can also aid with prevention. Complications of the virus cause both neurological and autoimmune complications; microcephaly is also noted in babies in northeast Brazil. There is also an increase in the incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome, where the immune system attacks the nerves in the body, resulting in tingling and weakness in the extremities. Further progression of Guillain- Barré syndrome can lead to full paralysis of the body which is a medical emergency. Source: CDC 2016 SUBMITTED BY ASHLEY R. JAMES, SN
