Lou Cherry steps down as Administrative Director

Dear Friends of ProPapa Missions America:
In the history of our Foundation we have been blessed with many mission driven volunteers, such as yourself, donating their time to answer the call to help the poor of Honduras. One investing more time and effort than many has been Lou Cherry of Long Island. Mr. Cherry began his commitment to ProPapa back in early 2004. Since then Lou involved himself in Orthopedic Brigades, the Patients to America Program supervising patients receiving care on Long Island, and ended up serving as the Administrative Director for years, bearing the load of scores of tasks.

But Lou now finds himself facing sever personal and family issues that do not allow him to continue his Administrative Director role with ProPapa. The Board is very thankful for his years of intensive and dedicated service and is very saddened to learn of his departure from office.

Our collective prayers are with him in his efforts to cope with his personal challenges. Please join us in wishing him well and thanking him for his leadership helping ProPapa serve those in need! 

The Board will direct their attention to installing some new systems to backfill for all of the functions Lou alone was able to manage as the Administrative Director. We'll try to announce the new support services via the PPMA Website. If you have any immediate questions, please contact William Casey via email at: info [at] propapa [dot] org or post a comment to this blog entry.

Thank YOU for the work you do, and we ask for your patience as we take some time to re-establish our administrative support systems.
