Every Little Helps

Our team has been working hard all semester to gather supplies and raise money-- it’s so exciting to think that in ONE WEEK we’ll be on our way-- to the other side of the world!!

I would just like to say thank you to all of the people supporting our trip: family, friends, classmates, faculty…and everyone in between! We've held bake sales, and silent auctions, sent out letters, gathered supplies on campus and have been overwhelmed by the generosity we've received. We have raised more than $10,000 in financial donations and more medical supplies than we know what to do with! The money will be used to purchase mosquito nets, which cost about $10 dollars each- divided by $10,000-- that's a thousand nets-- which can protect an entire family (guestimate 6 people per family)-- that's 6,000 people protected from malaria!  On behalf of  Team Cameroon, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed in any way, shape or form. This would not have been possible with out you. 




Thank you!!
From Team Cameroon
