Bed nets and supplies being delivered in the village
Great news!
Our first shipment of 100 nets, 50 blood test kits, 30 treatments of medication, and training for our friend Metwiy all took place this past weekend.
After much research, we entered into an agreement with Terrawatu, a Non-Government Agency based out of Arusha. They provided the supplies and transportation needed to outfit this village in our effort to eliminate the threat of malaria. In addition, we had Dr. Isack Kuysa of Arusha, Tanzania provide medical training on site at Oldupai Boma. All of this has been accomplished with $2,000 in cash, lots of research, and a commitment to help a portion of the Tanzanian population, the Maasai, that is grossly underserved.
This is our first of many steps.
Thank you to all who have contributed time, talent and money in making this come together.

Could you put up a map showing exactly where this village is located? Many people can’t even find Tanzania on a map, let alone Arusha, or a tiny village.
It would be educational.
Thanks
