TUNISIA.

At the 2012 London Olympics, a highlight of the ceremonies was a dedication to Britain’s universal healthcare system, wherein professional nurses danced with actual hospital beds. After the Olympics, the London’s organizing committee then had 320 beds and mattresses that needed to find their way to medical facilities in developing countries. Tait Towers designers had created the beds intending for them to be donated after the Olympics and had JABOR in mind to help.

We in turn had Project C.U.R.E. in mind to ask where the greatest need would be. They suggested Tunisia. In a matter of days, Tait and our group stripped the beds of their lights, batteries and wiring from the production, organized shipping with Rock-It Cargo, and delivered them straight to Hospital Habis Burguiba de Medenine and Hospital de Taouine.
