title: It takes a village to raise the world.
abstract: My experience in Tanzania has not only made me a better person, but also a better nurse. Creating this organization has been an awesome challenge. It is through Duluti Initiative, Inc. that I can give of myself and create opportunities for others who share in this mission. The mission of Duluti Initiative, Inc. is to decrease mortality and morbidity of the people of Tanzania, Africa by providing funds and access to healthcare. Here is how you can get involved. Donate. $15, for example, will supply a woman in our Expectant Mothers program with nutritious fruits and vegetables for one month. Spread the word! Contact us! http://duluti.org/. We would love to know your thoughts. Send us an e-mail about fundraising or other ways to contribute. Use the search engine www.goodsearch.com. Simply click the box that indicates which charity the search is for, enter duluti and click verify. For every search you conduct, Duluti Initiative, Inc. receives one penny. If 100 people use this search engine and conduct 10 searches per day for one year, at the end of the year Duluti Initiative, Inc. will receive a check for $3,650! Imagine what a contribution you can make! The best part is, all it costs is a little of your time. My experience in Tanzania has reinforced the importance of having strong nursing assessment skills, being able to think critically, and having a willingness to listen. Nursing is a "portable career" that we can take to any location on the planet and make a difference in someone's life. As nurses, we often take what we do for granted--but those that we help, do not.
