On Thursday, May 21, 2009, The Salvation Army's National Recycling Operations ("NRO") partnered with Health Partners International ("HPI") to send a 40 foot container of supplies to Captain (Dr.) Paul Thistle, Chief Medical Officer, at the Howard Hospital in Harare, Zimbabwe.

HPI sends medical supplies and medical drugs to Howard Hospital several times a year. This time, NRO added a donation of over one hundred boxes of medical surgical gloves to the shipment, courtesy of Wayne Safety Supply Company in Toronto.

The HPI shipments to Howard Hospital from their Mississauga warehouse are coordinated by Mr. Bert Amato, a friend and benefactor of the hospital.
