Deworm.org

I know that I haven't been doing a great job keeping you all up to date on the happenings at Deworm Ghana. However, I have been busy tabulating the number of beneficiaries of the Deworm Ghana project and writing the daily blogs to promote our work at our website, www.demorm.org. You can read all the details about the schools we visited, as well as the children and parents we have met here: http://www.deworm.org/deworm-2011-blog.

The past few days have been incredibly busy for us, as we have now administered deworming medication to 3047 students throughout Ghana's Akuapim South Municipal District. We have only two more days of work to go, and we're hoping to reach five thousand students. Although we likely won't reach this number by the end of the week, we are so proud of the work we have been doing. In fact, our work has caught the attention of some investors with a lot of money who want to donate to treating neglected disease throughout all of West Africa, including worms.

So maybe next summer I'll travel back this way to coordinate Deworm West Africa as my summer internship?  I wonder if I could base my work out of Morocco...

You could probably get similar work in the USA -- like North Philly, Arkansas, Louisiana ... Newtown PA 18940 .... LOL
