Some of The Things We've Been Doing

When the ministry of health moved the dates up for the campaign, we lost a whole week of preparation time. We have really been scrambling double time to get everything done. Here are some of the things we've been doing.




Organizing members of the Church to volunteer. Here are two typical, eager volunteers (the sister on the left is the same wonderful woman who volunteered in 2005, the one with a prosthetic leg). The sister on the right is a returned missionary. Our volunteers are from wards and branches in Gaborone, Lobotse, Molopolili and Francistown. They will be delivering literature door-to-door, putting up posters, and assisting in the health clinics by giving Vitamin A pills, doing record keeping and comforting the children.

Printing and assembling 3,000 volunteer badges to be used by volunteers throughout the country.

Purchased and donated 109 phone cards with 100 units of air time each for districts to facilitate communication with the department of health

Purchased 30 megaphones for use in announcing the campaign. This is every megaphone in the country, plus some imported from South Africa.

. . .and some other stuff.
