About Me
Here we are again with a second attempt at chronicling my journey. This is an opportunity to share my travels with friends, family and our generous donors. This is a trip I will get to do annually so if this piques your interest I would love to take you along next year!
​
I am the Executive Director of Friends of Ruwenzori Foundation. The mission of Friends of Ruwenzori Foundation is to reduce preventable deaths and foster healthy living among the people of the Ruwenzori foothills of Uganda by supporting the rural region's only local hospital and economic empowerment and health programs.
​
We are the funding partners of KIDA (Kitojo Integrated Development Association), a Ugandan-run non-governmental organization. KIDA fights HIV/AIDS and poverty and runs a small hospital in the rural communities of the Ruteete Subcounty of the Kabarole District in Western Uganda. We fully support KIDA's mission, which is to "enable vulnerable individuals and communities to take care of their own lives." Although many of our members are motivated by a religious faith, we are not a sectarian organization but a humanitarian one.
​
On a personal note I am a mom of 3 boys. Sam is 20 and attending University of Oregon as a junior, Jonathan is 14 and a sophomore at San Marin HS and Desean is 13 and a 8th grader at our local middle school. Very thankful for those who are supporting Desean and our 2 dogs Scamp and Indie while I travel. It truly takes a village.​
