Testimonials

I was awe struck by the overall spirit of happiness, warmth, and appreciation the Ugandan people shared with us. The kids are amazing and love to sing, play games with you or cuddle, just like all kids. That is the most lasting impression I will keep with me: the wonderful people and their spirit! For me, this has been a nursing experience of a career!

The trip to Rulagwe, Uganda truly affirmed to me the important of the work done by Buy-A-Net. I had struggled with the idea of volunteering because whose job was it to impose Western values on those in developing countries, yet the experience I had in Rulagwe showed me that in the case of malaria it is not about the imposition of Western values but about the importance of how a little education can go along in keeping people healthy.

Alex Turriff
As hard as it was at times to face these and other harsh realities of everyday life in Uganda, I would not trade the experience for anything. I am deeply indebted to Debra Lefebvre and Gail Fones and all of the Buy-A-Net Uganda team for allowing us to be a part of something so important.
