Mali Rising Foundation

For more information, please visit www.malirisingfoundation.org

"Going to Mali, Africa was one of the most life changing experiences I've ever had. We loved serving the people and feeling like we really made a difference. We saw it all from yellow fever to malaria to major infections. It was awesome to see the relief in their eyes when we gave their babies life saving penicillin and other medications that aren't normally available to them. The gratitude and love we felt from the people was overwhelming. We are planning to participate every year. Words can't express the love and respect I have for the people in Mali."
