My Nonprofit Reviews

I went to Uganda for the first time in April, 2014. Our first stop was Bwindi, where we toured the Hospital and the wonderful, new, Nursing School. My heart was so touched to see the Nursing school, and I know that my late Aunt, Nursing Education pioneer and advocate Jo Eleanor Elliott, was with me on that visit. It is my goal to support a nursing student as soon as I am able to. We met with the Nursing students who are in class for 3 months, then in clinical learning at the hospital for 3 months. They have a 3 year program and are then able to run basic Health Centers in Uganda. We also met two wonderful nurses from the States who were there for a month teaching the students. If only I had skills to go back and share....I would be there in a minute. In lieu of another visit quite right away, I will raise funds to support a nursing student. Education and Community Health are so important for this region, and the Kellermann Foundation is supporting both!
