A Shout Out to some of our sponsors!!

As we start to near the end of our placements here, we are thinking about all of the people that helped make this placement in Uganda happen. We’d like to give a big shout out to a group of people that donated items and services for our fundraising. Please check out all of these generous artists and professionals who donated items for a silent auction - great stuff that will be available at our Students for Global Citizenship fundraising event this fall that will boost the program and support the students who will follow in our foot steps next year! (We will post the event info here on the blog once confirmed.)

In addition, we’d like to thank the Victoria Midwifery Department for donating a digital baby scale to a hospital here. Accurate baby weights are even more critical here as they are used to quickly determine medication dosages for babies exposed to HIV, infections, malaria, or born prematurely. 

Our gratitude to all of you from us!

Sorting medical donations in Entebbe

Want to support the program for next year?

Each year personal donations are used to purchase medical supplies that students bring as donations to the hospitals here, and to deliver workshops to local midwives. Program costs also include ensuring UBC instructors are able to supervise students during their placements – a component on international midwifery/medical placements that is considered essential for sustainable and ethical international partnerships.
