Emergency Operations
26 November 2009
In the last three days we have had to fund three emergency operations, all have the same problem, gastroschisis. the abdominal wall does not fully develop and remains open.
It is very unusual to have three cases the same in three days!
We were able to help the first two little souls from our emergency fund but now have no more funds.
Every time I go to the hospital there is a child who will die without our intervention! The situation is overwhelming!
Below is the three babies we are helping now.
if any one wants to contribute to our emergency fund please know it will save a childs life!

A Fresh Perspective
08 September 2009
If you only look on the surface, you would think that everthing is just fine within the Philippines. In Calapan City there are lots of people. And they are all going about their business. And there is a lot of business. The streets are lined with shops and many multi storey buildings. But beneath this thin veneer of commerce is a level of poverty which we would never accept in NZ.
