birthing kit assembly nite

2nd MDA Birthing Kit Assembly Nite

Wake-Up successfully assembled about 1200 birthing kits tonight. With the help of 70 students( med and non-med), 2 med bands, MDA and FOOD, we can now have a clear conscience(for the night). The birthing kits will be sent to Madagascar where women can now have a safe and hygenic birth.

First up entertaining the night was Julian's band, followed later by O'neil's band with Aaron on the vocals. Everyone had fun and the atmosphere was great.

Photos will be up asap( thanks to Adrian for snapping!)

till next year, watch this space....
