I imagine
the students and faculty are settling in at Ilula, getting accustomed to their
new home for a month. Astrid has been
kind enough to receive my texts with generosity. By now I may have reached the nuisance
level. Randy uses his iPhone email, so I
hope that is via Wi-Fi at Ilula and not cellular data!
Sadly, the
crew needed to get new SIM cards for the phones – out of use too long. I have posted them above, but will check to
see if they work.
We have a
$100 donation for the Good Samaritan Fund that I will carry to Ilula. (Thanks Bob and Mariel!) This is a contribution to the hospital for
patients who cannot pay. People over 60
or 65, children birth to age five and pregnant women are covered by the
government. Many Tanzanians do not know
this. However, that still leaves many
who have no ability to pay for services.
Dear
Readers, I would be remiss if I did not tell you how and where to make donations
if you wish! This blog is not intended
for fund-raising, still…. You could send
donations to:
Shoulder to
Shoulder
1430
Appaloosa Trail
Eagan, MN
55122
Undesignated
funds are welcome and most flexible. Or
consider Ilula Nursing Scholarship, Ilula Good Samaritan Fund, or International
Medical Conference. Just write it in the
memo line of your check.
