$11,000.00 was raised and shared with BUY-A-NET. Helping Hands netted 17 villages!

Hi guys,

I wanted to share with you the fundraising story of my son, Noah.

He’s 10 years old, and knows what bed nets means for the health of kids in Africa. In the past couple of years, he and his older son Isaac have run a Backyard Fair each fall and raised $200-300 for bed nets.

We live in Ottawa and one of the local events is called Westfest which is a large community event in west-central Ottawa. They allow buskers, and Noah decide this year to use his Magic Sticks to raise funds for bed nets. In a few hours he raised $108 which is coming your way by check (to avoid the 3% visa charge). He hung in there even when he was getting blisters on his hands.

For me as his father it was amazing experience watching him do this. I am enormously proud of him, and he’s proud of himself, and his service to others. He knows exactly what this means for kids in Africa.

Attached are some pictures of Noah in action.

Thanks

The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) is very pleased to inform you of our endorsement of the BUY-A-NET Malaria Prevention initiative. By endorsing this initiative, CNA acknowledges the important contribution of BUY-A-NET as a direct mechanism for the prevention of Malaria deaths in Uganda. This endorsement also expresses our willingness to support this initiative publicly.

The BUY-A-Net Malaria Prevention initiative, led by a dedicated group of volunteer Canadian Registered Nurses, contributes to the advancement of CNA’s Vision for Registered Nurses to be leaders and partners working to advance health for all. The initiative further supports CNA’s Goal five, to advance international health policy and development in Canada and abroad to support global health and equity. The leadership role of registered nurses in the initiative, in Canada and in Uganda, is an important element that stands to contribute to professional exchange and support of the nursing profession in Uganda as the project builds.

CNA has a 30-year history of advancing the nursing profession internationally, a programme that generally focuses on strengthening nursing leadership capacity in resource- poor countries so that nurses address and advocate for improved health, health system and nursing priorities. Through multiple interventions that include education, advocacy and the provision of nets, we firmly believe this initiative, BUY-A-NET, is addressing the urgent population health needs related to malaria prevention while standing to build an important professional platform that strengthens and sustains the results of this initiative.

We look forward to remaining abreast of developments and, where possible, supporting this very important initiative.
