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.

Heather Haynes
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.

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.
