THE REPAIR SHOP - Hattiesburg, MS

Hey guys!

I am in Hattiesburg, MS today. I am visiting a local non profit called the REPAIR SHOP. Its purpose is to revitalize the spirit and health of a depressed community in Hattiesburg.

They are off to a great start.

I am sitting in a meeting where bringing doctors and simple medical test to the neighborhood is being discussed. That is a great beginning in a community where over 70% of its people do not have health insurance.

Medical facilities and health awareness attention programs in these communities was not discussed politically until THE REPAIR SHOP.
