Early success from our recent fund raising drive allowed us to purchase two brand new two-way ICOM radios to supplement our four existing Motorola radios in Nigeria and rapid chargers for ALL of the radios currently in use. We are hoping this will improve the functioning of these radios. We were also able to purchase additional headlamps for hospital workers, which have been enthusiastically received. We are field testing the two-way radios in the hospital, and hope to purchase more equipment for the hospital as soon as we establish efficacy of the current models.
