Preparing for Pihbby's visit

We are calling around, writing emails and using our contacts. Phibby from Tororo in Uganda is coming to Copenhagen on March 16 and we are working hard to cook up a good program for her.

Some project planning at SFOF

Coming to Europa is a huge deal - it is expensive and of course, Phibby wants to make the most of her stay, contacting potential donors for her many projects - including the basketball project.

We are really hoping that we can introduce her to as many people as possible in order to enhance her chances of finding some support for the projects. And quite a few meetings are already on: She is going to participate in a large meeting with all kinds of organizations working to prevent cancer, diabetes and heart disesases. Just like Phibby is doing on a small scale in Tororo. Doctors without borders have agreed to meet with her, she is going to the Danish Parliament to meet MP for Socialist Peoples Party, Lisbeth Poulsen, she is meeting with people at the Cancer Society and also with people from SFOF who have invited her.

At the SFOF meeting on March 22 she is going to talk about Hands of Hope and her many projects (some Ugandan parliamentarians will also be there!). The meeting is open to everyone, so if you want to meet her, check this out.
