It's wonderful to feel the support of all those behind our efforts to improve the quality of life of women in Uganda.
We had three Ob-Gyn residents run the Danbury half-marathon (in under two hours! woohoo!!!) and a half-dozen run the 5K. With the support and family and friends, the race raised $1500, which brought over the finish line of our $10K goal!
We have an amazing team heading down to Uganda in May- June. There will be two well regarded gynecological surgeons from Danbury Hospital, along with a senior anesthesiologist, a labor and delivery nurse, a certified nurse midwife and two of the Ob-Gyn residents! We will be mainly focused on teaching new and advanced surgical skill to the Ugandan residents/ physicians, but will also be delivering babies, attending emergencies, and giving didactic lectures to all health care providers.
We have successfully obtained the majority of the necessary OR equipment and are now are digging deep into funds to buy the last of the surgical instruments.
Our efforts have been successful because of the continued support of all of you.
Thank you and blessings to all.
