Help us Reach our $4000 Goal: African Self-Determination in Action

We are calling on all friends, members and supporters to help with urgently needed resources to send an AADPEP leadership contingent to Sierra Leone.

The purpose of the November trip is four-fold:

1.To finalize the plan of action and timeline for building the new AAPDEP-WIND birthing center,
2.To initiate plans for a 2012 AAPDEP winter project that would bring volunteers from throughout the world into Sierra Leone to participate in AAPDEP healthcare and agricultural work,
3.To establish the organizational and legal infrastructure necessary to build our economic development capacity in the country, and
4.To document AAPDEP's work through video and photographs that will be used in the creation of a short film on the fight to improve birth outcomes for African women and babies.

In the six months since Nurse Midwife Mary Koroma's return to Sierra Leone following the successful US-wide Stop the Hemorrhaging Tour, AAPDEP has made incredible advancements in our work to improve the lives and health of pregnant women and children in the country.

@egbigan I think you should visit our webiste to see the work that AAPDEP does. We operate under the understanding that Africans are one people dispersed globally, whether on the continent or anywhere else. We truly work to empower Africans led by African people, the video does nothing but highlight the common discourse in the Western world surrounding Africa and her people. We know we are capable people that future lies in our own hands.
