The Prodigal Son
The story of the Prodigal Son, also known as the Parable of the Lost Son, follows the parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin. Jesus is responding to the Pharisees’ complaint: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
Jesus tells the story of a man who has two sons. The younger son asks his father to give him his portion of the family estate as an early inheritance. Once received, the son promptly sets off on a long journey to a distant land and begins to waste his fortune on wild living. When the money runs out, a severe famine hits the country and the son finds himself in dire circumstances. He takes a job feeding pigs. He is so destitute that he even longs to eat the food assigned to the pigs.
The young man finally comes to his senses, remembering his father. In humility, he recognizes his foolishness, decides to return to his father and ask for forgiveness and mercy. The father who had been watching and waiting, receives his son back with open arms of compassion. He is overjoyed by the return of his lost son! Immediately the father turns to his servants and asks them to prepare a giant feast in celebration.
Meanwhile, the older son is not one bit happy when he comes in from working the fields and discovers a party going on to celebrate his younger brother’s return. The father tries to dissuade the older brother from his jealous rage explaining, “You are always with me, and everything I have is yours.”
Inter-religious doctors and other participants come together to bring medical services to the disadvantaged.
Friends of Good Health is a local grassroots effort to bring modern medical advances to the disadvantaged. PTWF has partnered with this worthwhile cause and is sponsoring a trip bringing over 20 doctors, along with vital medical supplies and medical equipment, to the needy in South America.
This project was the inspiration of Mr. Bobby Kalotee, a local Long Island businessman and philanthropist. Friends of Good Health brings together representatives of many faiths and beliefs, in order to provide needed medical expertise to those who would never have such access.
PTWF is proud to sponsor this work in service of our mission – to bring initiate and see to fruition inter-religious gestures of good will, which show the caring and benevolence of all, in the service of humanity.
You can make a tax deducible gift to Friends of Good Health through PTWF. 100% of the funds collected will go to the charity.
Pave the Way Foundation is a registered 501C3 Public Charity.
February 2011 our group of physicians went to El Salvador. Preliminary reports document that over 5,000 patients were examined and treated.
A group of doctors from the organization “Friends for Good Health” arrived in El Salvador on February 4, 2011 to participate in healthcare campaigns, for the benefit of the low income population of San Salvador and Sonsonate.
At a press conference at Nassau Medical Center of Long Island, Bobby Kalotee, President of the philanthropic organization said the campaign was conducted through collaboration and coordination with the mayors of Sonsonate and San Salvador, Roberto Aquinoand and Norman Quijano, who secured all the necessary logistics for the campaign. It will provide free medical care in different medical specialties, by 23 experts who donate their time to Friends for Good Health.
The volunteer group provides services in different hospitals in Long Island and New York. This was the first time they traveled to El Salvador on a humanitarian mission, which this year will also propose extending to Ecuador and the Dominican Republic in the coming months.
