www.employmentcrossing.com The Tigard, Oregon-based charity Medical Teams International has laid off nine people. The charity sends doctors and medical supplies to areas throughout the world. Spokeswoman Marlene Minor says the nine people, which represent 10 percent of the organization's staff, were part of a small administrative core. She says the layoffs resulted from a sharp drop in donations in the last few months. According to Medical Teams International, the organization assists 5.4 million people in Afghanistan, Honduras, Ethiopia and 41 other countries.
