Hello hello it’s just your trusty friend Dave, the Health Care Associate again to update you on the latest and greatest of the Ungana Foundation! Well as usual things are trucking along and we are digging our roots deep here in the Gisenyi/Goma area. I truly feel as though part of me will always refer to this place as home and I’m not stopping that feeling. Coy, Alyssa, Alex, and our new buddy Greg have come back from Kigali to start the launch of the XO laptops. I’m excited to announce that the health care team will be conducting some lessons with these magical machines. It is still in the plans, but we hope to teach the children of U.L.K. Primary School how to use their new toys to find out if they are sick, diagnosis their symptoms, and find new resources on how they can live a healthier life.
Our Medical Student Volunteer Program (MSVP) is laid out and we will soon be approving it through the Gisenyi Regional Hospital. We have refocused on a new Rotary Club to team up with here in the area. Our education programs are in the works to be implemented within the communities here soon. So all is great on the Rwanda front!
I’m sad to say the volunteers are leaving us. Ben, Amber, Christyn, and Maren have been great additions to the group and have really impacted the community of Gisenyi. I can already hear the kids asking me where their beloved teachers have gone. It’s sad to say goodbye, but there is more to come and we are all looking forward to the experiences.
Well, like the volunteers I must say farewell, but lucky for us we will meet again next week……
Chao!
