Raising Funds For Vital Equipment Needed At Suubi Clinic
We are thrilled that past TeamMED volunteers to Suubi Community Health Clinic are joining forces with the 2017 cohort to raise funds for a much needed CD4 machine for Suubi Clinic.
Past volunteers have seen for themselves what a vital addition this will be to Suubi Clinic as it will enable them to expand their current health services. The Ugandan government supplies antivirals to all HIV patients but a CD4 count machine is a prerequisite for any health facility to be accredited to dispense them. This machine enables a lab test, that measures the number of CD4 cells in a blood sample. Monitoring the CD4 count of HIV patients is the most important laboratory indicator of how well their immune system is working. It enables medical staff to see the effect the ARV treatment is having and to make adjustments when necessary.
The dynamic group from TeamMED have launched a crowd funding page to raise money for the CD4 machine at Suubi Clinic. We would love you to support them if you can, as it will definitely ease the lives of many HIV patients around Suubi who currently have to walk long distances to receive their treatment and medication.
Our huge thanks goes to the combined past and future TeamMed volunteers who are the driving force behind the fundraising for a CD4 machine for Suubi Community Health Clinic: Masad Alfayadh, Milo Murphy, Kirby Laslett, Chloe Higgins, Lauren Wainwright, Kathryn Demase, Ben Crock, Lauren Yip, Meg Kent and Emma Thompson.
The 2017 cohort of Ben Crock, Lauren Yip, Lauren Wainwright, Meg Kent, Kathryn Demase and Emma Thompson are meeting on a regular basis with past volunteers as they prepare for their upcoming trip in January.
What's been happening
Our 6th annual Butonde Bwansi Sports finals drew a crowd of over 3000 people to the Lubanda playground to cheer on the finalist. Amazing! Check out all the photos and results on our Suubi Update Blog. Our fourth annual Suubi Primary School's Sports Gala wrapped up today and was again hugely successful. With 18 primary schools competing this year, from all over Kisekka sub-county, this event continues to thrive and gives many students an opportunity to participate in competition sports that they would otherwise not have the chance to do. Check out all the results and lots of fabulous photos on the Suubi Events blog. It was excitement all round when the students and staff from Suubi Secondary & Vocational College set off on a big adventure to Entebbe today. For many of the students it was their very first time to leave the village and travel to the city. Read all about the trip on our SSVC blog and see lots of wonderful photos as 59 of our students were officially sworn in as scouts. How exciting! With Suubi Centre being selected as one of the very few projects to receive funds raised at the 2016 Uganda Marathon, on June 5th, there was much excitement today as the Suubi Team participated in the event launch. Money raised by runners that choose to fundraise for Suubi Centre will be directed in to buying 200 goats for the Suubi Goat Project. This project has been established as an income generating project that will help Suubi to become self sustainable and able to pay the growing number of staff and administration costs. Read more on the Suubi update blog about how the marathon plans to support the goat project and see lots of photos of the launch and the Suubi team in training. The new academic school year recently kicked off at Suubi Secondary & Vocational College. With our 2016 intake of Senior 1 students joining the Senior 2 cohort, our numbers have more than doubled. Many of the students have also chosen to become members of our newly established Scouting Group. To read more about this and see lots of photos check out the SSVC blog.
