Hello everyone,
I sincerely apologize for the lack of communication this semester, and unfortunately we will not be having a brigade this Winter break.
Earlier this semester, I contacted Jeff (who is in charge of all brigades in Panama) and he said that we need a minimum of 20 members to lead a full brigade. Anything less, he said, would be ineffective, unnecessary and undesired. We had (at most) 10 students who expressed interest in the Winter brigade.
We will, however, MOST DEFINITELY be going to a Spring brigade on 1 condition: that we have at least 20 people committed. As soon as the Spring semester starts, we will be holding more regular and structured meetings in order to get this brigade going. Please look out for an email from us in the Spring semester, and please encourage your friends (or anyone who might be interested) to attend our meetings.
As for the officers, please keep doing your job (i.e. collecting medication, recruiting doctors, etc.).
Yours truly,
Jamie
