Thank You To Our Donors!
As we make our final preparations, we want to express our huge gratitude to our donors. In total, we raised over $10, 000. Donations of any amount will make a huge difference for IVO and help us make an impact in Zambia. We will be purchasing 1350 fruit trees for students to plant in their schools for sustainable activities and to generate long-term income so schools can purchase supplies. Each tree costs $3-4. As well, with the donations we were able to purchase 20 tablets, each costing $88.
We want to thank Bausch and Lomb for an incredible donation of medical supplies which Dr. Huang and the rest of the team will be using in Zimba Mission Hospital for the duration. Any unused supplies will be donated to the hospital for later use. Thank you as well to Alcon for donating eye drops that are pertinent for patient care after surgery.
On March 1 we fly to Africa, and will begin our work on March 11. Thank you again for your support, and keep checking the blog for updates when we arrive!
