On My Way Out | New Community Partner | Kagya Village
In June, COSAD formalized a new partnerships with a Village called Kagya, about 30 km outside of Bukoba town. The GCN/ FAIR Student Volunteers and Dr. Brant Barr joined us the day we went to launch COSAD’s partnership with Kagya Village.We held the partnering event on the grounds of the village hospital in Kagya. Kagya is also the birthplace of the COSAD Clinic’s Landlord, Mr. Julius Ndyetabula. Kagya’s community leaders, village members, and hospital staff came to welcome us. The need in village hospitals is sobering. COSAD donated supplies and linens from the COSAD Clinic to begin our partnership, and I look forward to see how we will be able to offer more support as we move forward together.
