Testimonials

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.

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!

Thanks again for your excellent presentation at the Rotary Club of The 1000 Islands last Wednesday. As I mentioned to you that day, my wife and I attended the Breakout Session about Malaria at the Rotary International Convention on June 21, and it was definitely the most memorable of many memorable experiences at the convention. We wish you every success in your endeavors in this very worthwhile and necessary life saving project.
