DONATIONS

Mombo from TZ!
Today was my last full day here in Arusha. As a fantastic closing to this wonderful adventure, Heather, Ben and I completed our final round of donations.
1st: four mattresses to the Fruitful Orphanage
2nd: our first round of medicine, and medical instruments to Mt. Meru Regional Hospital. (total of 757,000 TZS spent)
3rd: our second round of even MORE medicine, and medical instruments for our beloved Mt. Meru Regional Hospital.  (Quotation pictured with a tally of 2,465,000, I later added 465,000 TZS to this total-by adding more pain meds and sutures)
*save the picture and zoom in to see what fantastic things we got!*
The donation process this morning didn’t go as smoothly as planned. The Tanzanian “pole, pole” attitude proved to be prevalent even in a business setting. HOWEVER, after some time, we left with enough supplies to fill the storage room in causality (ER); so much so that it was difficult to walk around after the boxes were in the room!
Did you know that you helped to provide 16,000 doses of Diclokant, and 3,000 doses of Tramadol? You will help keep 19,000 people in the ER pain free. Those people thank you, and so do I. We were able to get much more than pain meds, so please take the time to see what else we were able to provide the hospital. Thank you to all of you who made this donation possible. You all me so much to me, and the town of Arusha thanks you.
Asante Suna. Lala Salama!

1st Donation Total: 650,000 TZS was missing the day we picked up the order. We transferred what we couldn't get to the next order. This next order if shown below!
