Movie Night Fund-raiser: This Saturday!




Have a great time at the big screen with the whole family. Come out and support the first fund-raising event organized entirely by the volunteer corps in Lethem.

All proceeds will benefit the community health and development activities of Remote Area Medical Guyana. Special thanks to Imon wireless for sponsoring this activity and putting together a great show.

Below is a totally random photo stolen from Noel's BBM profile recently showing some smiling members of the RAM crew.  Thanks Noel.





















Update:  This activity, organized by the RAM Ranger volunteer group, will go down as a great learning experience for all those who put in their time to support.  The good news is that the activity did make a profit, even if the amount was less then some might have expected.  Lethem is a developing town but even by Guyana standards is not well off - made up of residents who struggle every day to make ends meat.  Fund raising in these areas takes experience, patience and tempered expectations. Special thanks to all those dedicated volunteers who popped popcorn, made icicles and put up flyers.  Also special thanks to Imon for their invaluable support which made this activity possible.  Raising awareness about volunteer opportunities, and empowering today's youth to make a difference is always a worth while activity.
