Opportunity for Mission: An Invitation from Tiana!

Tiana is part of a service organization at UT called Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children. The group organizes volunteer trips to its pediatric sites, giving opportunities for students to impact the health of children, and it also works to raise money for medical supplies to send to these sites.

And tonight, she invites you to a very special fundraiser at the Spicy Pickle!

From 6:00pm-9:00pm, Tiana's organization is raising money for the construction of a health pavilion at the Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children (FIMRC)'s Beatrice Tierney Clinic in Bumwalukani, Uganda! This is such a wonderful cause.

They have also provided a description of how the pavilion will be used:

"The heath center[pavilion] hosts daily meetings for our community health groups to discuss an array of health topics and education. We currently have nine groups: three women’s groups, a young women’s group, a girls’ group, a men’s group, a young men’s group, a post-test club of HIV+ members for peer support, and a drama “troop” that educates the community about health through theatre and music. These are voluntary groups comprised of community members and led by our community outreach coordinator, currently Mangoye Masawi Wilson and our Peace Corps Volunteer, Karine Nankam. Groups average approximately twenty to thirty members."

So, what can you do to help? It's so easy! Simply eat at the Spicy Pickle anytime from 6-9. The food is great! And the restaurant is within walking distance of campus. Here is a map. And! When you come, everyone enters their door prize to win a free Princeton Review Prep Course! This comes in handy for those of you who would like to take the MCAT or the GRE.

Come support Tiana is such a worthy cause!
