Project HOPE in Cameroon, Africa!

Hello! Welcome to my section of the Project HOPE blog. I will be traveling later than the other Project HOPE students, but I am already very excited! I am so grateful for the opportunity to be the first Pharm-D/MBA student to do a rotation with Project HOPE!

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the 6th Annual Investment Forum (Strengthening Cameroon's Economic Growth Agenda) in Bethesda, MD. Matt Peterson was due to present the Project HOPE initiative as part of the panel discussion. He did a wonderful job giving a summary of what Project HOPE expects to accomplish in conjunction with Maria Rosa Nsisim Medical and Surgical Foundation (MRNMSF). The forum was a 3 day event, with our presentation on the 2nd day. There were about 15 business professionals and representatives attending the forum, and Mr. Peterson's presentation sparked a lively discussion.

This week I have met with individuals to get a low-down of what to expect in Cameroon and I received my iPad. There is still a lot to do before the trip.

Stay tuned for future blog posts!
