New member GAIL KOUYATE gave her classification talk , introducing herself and telling us a little of her life. She related how growing up on Long Island, and her education in engineering, has lead her to her present passion of supplying medical equipment to those in need in Africa. An important part of that path, was meeting her future husband Mbemba, from Gueina , Africa, and becoming involved in assisting those with medical needs that country, and in other African countries. The organization collects wheelchairs, walkers, new commodes, canes, and other medical equipment pieces, and processes them for shipment to West Africa. One of their main accomplishments is there purchase and repair of a ambulance that will be sent to the Dinguiraye Medical Center, in Guinea.
