The IDM and SAIWI 7th Annual African Dinner held 3/19/10 was a great success. IDM is extremely appreciative of all of the support and amazing generosity.

IDM is also excited to be finalizing the 2010 mission schedule. Plans are to have a traveling health team, as well as continued work on the mosquito net distribution project. A group of SAIWI students will be working on developing sustainable water sources. In addition, education, including hygiene/sanitation and food dehydration, will be provided to the community.

The Mua Hills medical clinic continues to function well and serve the local community, and progress is being made on the construction of the learning center.

IDM and SAIWI (Student Association for International Water Issues, associated with the University of Nevada, Reno) will be holding the 7th Annual Ron Petersen Memorial African Dinner on Friday, March 19th, 2010. IDM and SAIWI host this fund raiser annually to raise support for water related projects in developing nations. The event includes delicious African cuisine, trip presentations, live entertainment, and a silent auction.
