Health Centre
We are aiming to establish a new health clinic in Bopa in the near future. The clinic will be vital in achieving improvements in health care in the region. Development is already underway, and various equipment, such as clinic beds, have already been purchased. However, we have a great need for donations of medical supplies and other equipment. Please contact us if you have any ideas or are in a position to help.
School Pen-Pals
We are looking for 'snail mail' pen-pals for students in the villages of Bopa and Lobogo. Most students speak French, although older students (ie. over 16) can write English. If you are interested please contact us (ness1@ekit.com).
