Events NOT meetings!

Michell sharing the sights and stories of the
Nepalese training.
Who wants to attend yet another meeting??  Not the HealthEd Connect Board of Directors that's for sure!  We decided last year that board meetings sounded way too boring since we have so much to celebrate so we decided to substitute 'events' instead (we do somehow manage to squeeze in a few hours for business as well but we never lack for inspiring, fun-filled gatherings.)  The April board 'event' was no exception.  Several loyal donors joined us at the Graceland Independence Campus for an evening of East Meets West.   We probably should have called it East meets West and North and South since we featured our projects in Africa and Nepal as well as our faithful donors in the U.S.

A highlight for the board members was meeting our HealthEd Connect Zambian Representative, Gershom Chifumbe,  who shared first-hand inspiring updates of the programs in Zambia.  Gershom is in the U.S. for a few weeks attending meetings and visiting HealthEd Connect donors.  Michelle Mahlik who participated in the March training trip to Nepal, brought Kathmandu and our Nepalese program alive with her pictures and stories.  Many thanks to YOU, our loyal donors who make all of this possible!
