Reinging In Cervical Cancer

Overview:

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 1—The Beginning of Our Story.  Jean and I are thrilled you have joined us.  And we have with us today Stacy Bailey-Ndyaie.  Stacy is the founder and executive director of Bridge Kids International, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky but with groups of young folks who are doing good work all over the world.  Stacy herself was already well schooled in international travel and service by the time she joined the Prospect/Goshen Rotary Club in 2011, which is how I got to know Stacy. And she was there when, in March of 2013, the idea was floated that we, as a Club, could help rein in cervical cancer in Haiti.  It was that idea and Stacy’s international connections that eventually led us to Jean in December of 2014.
