Great News… We have got a New Live saving Ambulance!
I can’t believe that I can tell you already that the New Ambulance has arrived! But it has!
We had an amazing response to our Fundraising Appeal in The Netherlands and far quicker than we could of hoped, dreamed of and prayed for the target amount was donated!! Our heartfelt thanks goes out to ALL who contributed in anyway to enable us to be able to reach this incredible amount so soon! A special word of thanks goes to the Baptist church, “De Meerkerk” in Hoofddorp who held a special collection for the Ambulance and raised more the €15600 (£13,500/ $17,000).
We received this message from Esther, the Clinical Officer and manager at the Clinic.
Greetings,
As Jjanda Medical Centre we are grateful for the continuous support towards the facility. As we received the new ambulance at the facility last week on Friday (11-08) to enhance on service delivery. We are very thankful to everyone who stood with us for this noble cause by sacrificing the little they had so that we have this ambulance. Some may not have given finances but gave advise and some prayed. We are very grateful.
May God bless you.
Yours faithfully
Nalubowa Esther Ssali
