York University Teams up with Buy-A-Net

Nafeesa F. tells us, “As proud students of York University, the Nursing Students Association at York (NSAY) decided to team up with Buy-A-Net to raise money and help empower mothers and children in Uganda…We started off by ordering a shipment of necklaces (small and long) and bracelets, and with a booth, promoted our cause among students and faculty members. The bracelets were a huge hit, especially when students found out that it was made from recycled paper! Every bead is made with such patience and beautiful intricacy that every bracelet and/or necklace definitely had a story to tell, which is what was written on our posters that were posted all over the campus. The fundraiser was a huge success, we raised a grand total of $1,186.34 in only TWO days! We came together (students and faculty of York U) to support a great cause such as this one. Thank you all who were part of this process! We appreciate it!” Thank you to NSAY (especially Nafeesa F.) and all at York U. You have made a real difference in saving lives from disease and poverty in Kawempe District, Uganda!
