Due to the overwhelming response from everyone at home, I asked Mama Tesha what we could do for the families at the school and in the community and she said a little gift that does a lot of good is a mosquito net to hang over a child's bed. I was able to purchase 120 mosquito nets from a local factory in Arusha to give to children at Mama's church, to some of the students in the school, and children in her neighborhood whose families can't provide this protection for them. It is a small item that will guard them against malaria which is one of the leading causes of death to children in Africa! Everyone has been so thankful for the nets and they ask that I send their appreciation onto those in America!
