Thanks for taking the time to click on this and find out more.
Who and Why?
Well, most of you should know who I am. I've only recently started in midwifery and am still finding my place. One reason for choosing to go to Uganda is to see if this might be a place where I volunteer once I qualify or consider working abroad at a later date. I am passionate about giving the best care and know that I can learn so much from being in Uganda (and hopefully contribute something to). I want to understand more about the difficulties of healthcare internationaly which may influence what work I end up doing in midwifery.
Who with?
I'm going with a charity Knowledge for Change, set up by a professor in Salford University who wanted to establish a partnership across continents. I'll be joining other medical students who will be on the placement at the same time.
I also want to visit a friend of mine, Gill Olaaka who works for a charity called Abaana. Its aim is to see children in Africa have their needs met, their rights upheld and their dreams fulfilled. Gill has been in Uganda for over 10 years and it'll be so good to see more of what she does and to help contribute first hand to it. If you want to find out more - take a look at their website www.abaana.org
How much?
The three week placement costs £1395 which pays for accommodation, flights, and contributes £150 to the hospital. I also need to fundraise for about another £300 for vaccinations, insurance, travel to their airport, food etc. Amazingly, I have already been accepted for 2 grants; £750 Scholarship from my University ARU and £300 from the Alla and Nesta Ferguson Charitable Trust. The more I can raise to contribute to the trip costs, the more I can leave in support of what my friend Gill and what the hospital is doing. The funding aim will include these two and other contributors who don't or can't use this site.
What next?
You could kindly keep me in your prayers whilst I'm out there. You could donate whatever money feels right - every contribution will help. You could contribute in another way with items for me to take out; premature babygrows or newborn babygrows (for smaller babies), baby hats, maternity pads, bras you no longer need.. get in touch to find out what I have already and how much I can take.
Thank you for being part of my story! xx
