During our trip to Gabon in March the goals of Project Sunset were exceeded by far yet again! We went with the goal of distributing 200 mosquito nets during the trip. We ended up distributing 288 nets while we were there and left 112 for our Gabonese partners to continue to distribute at future clinics!
This means that we have now distributed 700 nets in Gabon in under a year and a half!!!
When we got to our first clinic on Monday everyone got one of these shirts that our Gabonese partners had made for everyone to wear. They say Paludisme with a big red X over it. Paludisme means malaria in French and so the message of these shirts is pretty clear!
On Monday during our first clinic we distributed 137 mosquito nets! 5 times the amount of nets we ever distributed at one clinic during our first trip in June. The first day was so successful that we had to go buy more to last us the rest of the week!

Thank you for all of your continued support!!! Without everything that all of you do for Project Sunset none of this would have happened. I look forward to my next trip to Gabon in June through E4 Project with my home church, Bridge Community Church. During this trip we will hopefully distribute more mosquito nets than we ever have before! If you want to help make this goal a reality check out our website at:

World Malaria Day is coming up quickly on April 25th so make sure to wear your shirts and spread the word about Project Sunset!!
