Dear Fatima and dear Jean,
Dear Board members of the Louise Grenier Foundation,
Dear members of the Rotary Club of Montreal,

As a first step, we would like to thank you for supporting our humanitarian missions in 2018, which allowed us to treat 450 people from rural areas for free.

This year and for the years to come, we are again asking for your generosity so that our humanitarian activities can continue. For the year 2019, with other volunteers, we will organize four missions with students graduating from the fourth year of the PhD program in podiatric medicine at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. 
An important fact that we want to share with you since the foundation of our NPO, in addition to having established a partnership with Dentists of the World Guatemala and the Department of Physiotherapy of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Ho Chi Minh, our organization is officially recognized by the Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine program at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières as an accredited partner to accompany students on humanitarian missions in their program. In fact, since 2016, the students who participate in our missions have obtained recognized credits as interns of their academic career.
In March, a group will leave for Morocco, at the University Hospital Center of Marrakech. In addition to the treatments to the population, we will devote each day, an hour of training to the doctors of feet pathologies, which will allow the population to have continuity in podiatric treatments.
In May, with the Dentists of the World, we will carry out a joint mission to Sibana, Guatemala.
In August and December, we will return to Vietnam to continue our activities. During our two missions, we will give a two-day conference to professors and students of the Department of Physiotherapy at the Ho Chi Minh Medical and Pharmacy University.
For these 2019 missions, we need financial resources to procure drugs and other equipment. In this perspective, a contribution of $ 3 to $ 4,000 from your organizations would be greatly appreciated.
Also, all our volunteers, in addition to working for free, pay in full the costs associated with their transportation, accommodation and subsistence.

Looking forward to a positive response from your Foundations, please accept our sincere greetings.
