Thus far we have sent Fellows to Viet Nam, Swaziland, Beijing, Mongolia, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, and Colombia. Additionally, we have established a Travelling Scholars program which permits us to send palliative care professionals from developing countries to our annual meeting and it's associated congress. To date Scholars have come from Uganda, Korea and the Ukraine. We count among our member professionals and volunteers all disciplines on the hospice team. We are not content to rest on our achievements because there is still much to be accomplished.
Members are the most important vehicles for getting our message out.
They provide important input, they help us by teaching and writing, they provide links to needy organisations world-wide, they raise funds to provide educational programs, and yes they make do make contributions for the continuation of our work. Yes, consider becoming a member. More importantly, consider funding a membership for a colleague from a developing country- see Dues 2000 Project under Editor's Notes in this issue.
