Thank you from the nurses



We have been out on a lot of dirt roads lately, as we have been visiting rural clinics and villages in a series of needs assessments and teaching visits. It has been an eye opening experience.

None of the clinics had running water or functioning blood pressure cuffs. All had solar power which needed repairs and upgrading and which did not work on cloudy days. One had no functional freezer to keep the vaccine suppplies cold, and of course, neither one had a doctor.
They were so thankful for the medical equipment and teaching we brought them- FROM YOU!
Here in this video are two nurses thanking you all for your contributions and Coffee Rwanda purchases that allowed us to buy this equipment for them. Some people have asked where they can contribute. We will keep you posted on the address to send contributions to Health Leadership International, where all your money will go toward these types of projects and where you can volunteer to help.
