COP provides about 7 million dollars worth of orthopaedic goods annually at no charge for children and adults. Usually the request is from a missionary doctor in the developing world. If the requested item is in their Maryville, TN warehouse, it goes to an U.S. address so it can be taken overseas. COP is an all-volunteer fellowship of orthopedic professionals who serve crippled children and adults with physical deformities caused by land mines, birth defects, or other reasons. They provide free surgery, limbs, braces, wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, and rehabilitative services throughout the world. Although there is no charge for the items, donations are appreciated.

CMM sponsors overseas medical mission trips that focus on helping children. This faith-based organization of 700 volunteer health care professionals serves needy children with frontline evangelism through medicine. Food, clothing, medicine, medical supplies, and surgical teams are furnished, at no cost to the recipients, to children's hospitals, orphanages, and clinics in 25 developing countries worldwide. They also provide primary healthcare programs, including vitamins, for children ages 5-8. If your mission helps English or Spanish speaking children, you may order their free bilingual "Kings Kids Good Life Guides" that promote healthcare concepts in a Christian context. The "Sharing Partners" page on their web has many links —from aviation into remote areas to finding wheelchairs. Donations are appreciated. Their website: www.childmed.org
