We are also fine and also very busy in the hospital and at different wards…It's really a pleasure that I'm seeing most of the conditions on a new ward, never seen before and I'm aiming at knowing how to best manage these conditions for example respiratory distress new borne and how to save these babies lives…Send my regards to all family members, Janet and
others. GOODBYE Gretta Scholar

This is why we do what we do. Please read this wonderful email a second year Gretta Scholar.
Thank you all for your good work. Stay inspired because lives are being empowered and lives saved because of all you do to support Gretta's mission.
"It´s long ever since i wrote to you. With hope that you are fine, i am fine too.
I am already in my clinical practice by two weeks. It is my pleasure to inform you that this week in my ward i have saved the life of a very young malnourished beautiful girl(one and a half years also HIV positive) whose mother died last week on Tuesday due to HIV infection. She was being taken care of by the aunt who also has her own child to take care of. This baby had profuse diarrhoea and vomiting and i identified that the problem was poor hygiene. I held a health talk about proper hygiene with the caretaker,monitored her closely and today i am a proud nurse when i tell you that the diarrhoea and vomiting had stopped by yesterday evening. I realised that life can be saved, not only by medication but also by word of mouth. I also realise that, more than ever, i love my job and i enjoy it. I will fore ever be grateful to the Gretta foundation for supporting me to make my dream come true. Thank you very much for supporting me and, please may you continue supporting me. With much love from;" ~ A Gretta Scholar

Dear Friends,
Time is flying by! We'd like to take a minute to reflect on two recent and exciting developments:
1. Our first annual Year In Review newsletter is now complete! Check out this interactive flip book for a recap of TGF's 2010 accomplishments, scholar and donor profiles, a list of donors, and a hint of what's new for 2011.
2. TGF has its first graduate!
Ruth just graduated with a baccalaureate degree in nursing from The Aga Khan University in Kampala, Uganda. In Ruth's own words, "I would have cheated myself if I did not extend my sincere thanks to the entire foundation for your support. Currently I was given added responsibility of spearheading the mentorship program for nurses at the Institute...so that I can build my career and be able to mentor other nurses in provision of quality care for our patients. Once again I say thank you!"
