Night on the Serengeti highlights all the amazing work supporters
have done in service to Village Life, a Cincinnati based nonprofit on a
mission to unite communities to promote Life, Health and Education
in Tanzania, East Africa. One of the most exciting parts of Night on
the Serengeti each year is the Rafiki Award Ceremony, and this year
was no exception. This year five individuals who have been vital to
the work of Village Life were celebrated.
The student Rafiki award went to four University of Cincinnati nurse
practitioner students affectionately known as the "A-Team"- Allysia
Billow, Allison Youngs, Allyson Ruebusch, and Angela Ellard. These
four students provided exception care to patients at Roche Health
Center during the June Outreach Brigade.
The professional Rafiki award went to Dr. Stewart Wright. Dr. Wright
who helped spearhead an important partnership with the Emergency
Medicine Department at the University of Cincinnati and the Shirati
Hospital.
The evening also featured the impressive work of the Engineer's
Without Borders- UC Chapter in the keynote presentation. Two
students, Julie Paprocki and Grace Aldredge, chronicled the
Nyambogo Water Project from its planning phases, through drilling
the well, to the final stage of extending water lines and taps into the
community.
High-fives and congrats to the honorees!
