Hello All,
As some of you may know I first traveled to Uganda last July. While there I decided that I would somehow provide an ambulance for Double Cure Medical Centre. At that point I had no idea how I would go about raising the $15,000 that Romans and I discovered was necessary to purchase such a vehicle, but I told him I would do it.
Over the course of the year, my senior year in high school, I was able to raise the money with the help of my family, friends, and my community. My high school, the Haverford School, in conjunction with our sister school, the Agnes Irwin School, raised money throughout the year, culminating in a Talent Show which raised the final $6,000 for the ambulance. The project would not have been possible without the help of this partnership.
Just last month the money was wired to Uganda and the ambulance was purchased.
Next week I will be returning to Uganda. One of the main goals of this trip is to purchase some necessary supplies for the ambulance and set it into operation at Double Cure. Please check back at the end of next week for my first post from Uganda. Thanks for reading!
- Jeff
