Story

Hi there!
This year I am returning to Myanmar to continue a project teaching heart surgery and cardiology to local doctors and scientists. In the beginning, there were no cardiology services, these kids would just die. 


After 12 years my team and I have set up 5 hospitals for cardiac surgery on kids and adults, rheumatic heart prevention screening, over 20 cardiology clinics providing life-saving services.


This year we see the new generation of doctors being trained to service their own country.


We will treat approximately 200 children and 200 adults and train the locals to do it all when we are not there.


All volunteers completely fund themselves and take their holidays to go on these trips to save these lives and communities.


I love Aide work and it is part of my soul, any contribution would be appreciated.


Eg of some costs we try to reduce with help: cardiac ultrasounds $50, Cardiac angiograms / stents $1500, cardiac surgery $5000...... smiles and the look of hope and relief from the childrens families - PRICELESS


Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to my charity of choice.

Thanks so much for your support!
