Working to Improve Infant and Maternal Care in Uganda

When:
December 12, 2016

This Christmas Aimee and Laura have just one wish: to travel to Uganda to learn as much as they can about infant and maternal care. 

Aimee, who is completing a Bachelor in Nursing at Humber, and Laura have volunteered in both orphanages and maternity wards in the past. Their hope is to return to Uganda once Aimee has completed her degree and make a positive impact on the infant and maternal care in Uganda. 

To learn how you can show your support for Aimee and Laura, visit their blog aimeeandlaurainuganda.wordpress.com. 

In order to raise the funds needed for their trip they have created handmade bibs with soother strap, mugs and bracelets. To shop their store, visit aimeeandlaurainuganda.wordpress.com/shop.
