In May, 17 Montanans are heading to Tanzania to provide medical support in conjunction with the New Hope International Hospital Sakila Dispensary. Montanans have become an integral part of the communities in the area for several years. This year the group includes people from Chinook, Havre, Chester, Bozeman, Florence and Hamilton. Some are doctors, EMT's, physical therapists, nurses, physician assistants and support personal.

100 % of the money received from the fundraiser will go to medical supplies, medications and support directly to the people in Tanzania. People at the fundraiser can pay for or donate items during the fundraiser for the trip. Some of the items requested are vitamins, Ibuprofen, reading glasses, toothbrushes and toothpaste, antifungal cream, hand sanitizer, thermometers, BP cuffs, Portable O2 sensors, nasal spray, hydrocortisone cream and antibiotic cream.

Please come join us at this family event with fun, food, and fellowship.
