Listserv members fight Sickle Cell

Lukiah L. Nakabembe Mulumba, RN, BSN, Chair, Uganda-American Sickle Cell Rescue Fund, USA

Dear Colin (listserv moderator),

I would like to Thank you and the Commonwealth Health and Media Partnership, for connecting me to the right people. My efforts to assist those suffering the affects of Sickle Cell Disease all started with our initial contact via your website almost three years ago, now.

I was able to visit Uganda earlier on this year, I met with Pius, the journalist you connected me with. I also met with Ruth, Uganda's Sickle Cell Association's Chairperson. It was a positive week here in the fight against sickle cell Anaemia in Uganda. Please fell free to read the articles below and see some of the activities that happened.

Peace, Lukiah.
