What is the “Twin Falls We Day” campaign?
  • “We Day” is a leadership conference that promotes young people to lead local & global change through their organization & participation in service projects in their schools around the country. Twin Falls Middle School is focusing their “We Day” campaign on supporting MED25′s efforts in providing healthcare services to Mbita, Kenya.
Where does my money go?
Twin Falls Middle School is joining MED25 International for their second partnership in educating our students about the basic healthcare needs of citizens in the community of Mbita, Kenya. This is an ongoing partnership between Twin Falls and MED25. This year the students’ fundraising efforts are aimed at mosquito nets to prevent malaria, water treatment drops to prevent waterborne illnesses, and the salaries to employee the needed health care providers who make a difference in the Mbita community every day.
Why participate?
Our goal for the students’ participation in “We Day” is to show them the positive impact service based outreach can have locally and globally. In Africa, access to basic healthcare is a major issue. The students of Twin Falls Middle School need your help to support MED25 in their efforts to continue providing affordable healthcare to Mbita community.
How do I know my donation will make a difference?

The Natural Helpers Club Fundraiser Page

Welcome to the Natural Helpers Club team’s fundraising page!  We’re competing against the Key Club and the MED25 Staff to try and raise more money for MED25′s programs in Kenya.  Read a little bit about us below! Natural Helpers is a national peer-helping program.  At Twin Falls, our students are selected into the program through an anonymous school wide survey and ideally are representative of all the subgroups in the school community. Natural Helpers provide a great resource to other students and are an asset to our school. Natural Helpers attend a two-day training retreat where they are taught accurate information and learn a Helping Skill to use with their friends.  Just as important, they begin to form a cohesive group from what was a collection of very diverse individuals. Among the topics addressed during the Retreat Training are: DSC_0280*Taking care of oneself *Working as a team *Knowing when friends need help *Expressing care and concern *Expressing limits *Recognizing situations that require professional helping resources *Contacting a resource It is meaningful for our Natural Helpers to take part in We Day and this fundraising campaign because we are using our NH skills to express care and concern, work together as a team, and reach out to MED 25 to cooperate in helping people in Mbita, Kenya live safer, healthier lives.
