Hospice forges links with Ecuador
Thursday 23rd October 2008, 2:55PM BST.
JERSEY Hospice has joined forces with a similar charity in Ecuador set up by a Jerseywoman.
The partnership with Fundacion Jersey in the Ecuadorian capital Quito coincides with the announcement that the next Bedell Group-sponsored cycle challenge in aid of Jersey Hospice Care will be to the South American country.
Talking about the twinning, Hospice chairman Dr Gari Purcell-Jones said that the Mont Cochon-based charity was looking forward to providing its partner with as much help and support as it could.
‘The partnership with the Ecuadorian hospice, which has such a strong Jersey link, gives the Bedell trip an added dimension and makes it even more worthwhile,’ he said.
