The Green Pump Hand Sanitizer...Don't leave home without it






So what do you see in these three pictures that is the same? Well if you look hard enough you will see the green-topped pump of a Babyganics hand sanitizer. I can honestly say we have not left home without it for the past two years! It has been our go to for trying to stay as healthy as we could while Jud's lungs heal and repair themselves after his severe Merconium Aspiration at birth. So when we asked Dr. Alyssa Pfister who is serving as a physician at the hospital in Burundi what our family could do this year for the NICU she immidiately said hand sanitizer! Well we definitely knew which one we wanted to send! 

So I reached out to the Babyganics company and told them our story...and they graciously donated some product and also said we could purchase additional product for the hospital at a discounted price. So now we have been given space on the hospital's medical equipment container that will be leaving the US in July headed for Burundi for the sanitizer! Our goal is to send a years supply of hand sanitizer to set up stations not only in the small NICU but throughout the 80 bed hospital. 

The reason hand sanitizer is such a vital need is because this remote hospital is in a spot that is difficult to provide fresh running water to so they are often without the ability to use fresh wash their hands in the hospital. Currently they use water buckets outside the patients room with soap and water. They are working to raise funds to bring a water engineer on staff to help remedy this problem in the future but for now hand sanitizer would bring MUCH needed help to this tiny hospital.
