Testimonials

This experience has been so rewarding to my whole family that we have sold our house and are in the process of planning a trip back to Africa for 3 months in 2010. We are filled with hopes to continue spreading awareness through film, paintings and music… what we know best. I would like to sincerely thank Buy-A-Net for helping to shape my life’s purpose.

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.
