a reminder of why we're doing this...

As I've mentioned, Nick and I have asked that the money be used for surgery on orphans in China and for physiotherapy.

Love Without Boundaries recently launched a new initiative called the ‘Mobile Medical Program’ This was established in memory of a dear little girl called Xin who LWB met Xin through a chance visit to her orphanage.

Xin was born with severe heart disease and had lived all her short life in the orphanage. LWB arranged for her to be seen by a leading heart surgeon but sadly her condition was inoperable and sadly Xin died in January this year.

Before she died, Love Without Boundaries was able to move Xin to a wonderful foster family so that she could receive the one to one care she so clearly needed and deserved.

Xin's short life and sad death brings home the importance of early diagnosis of such life threatening conditions. So some of the money will to go to a Mobile Medical program which, in just a few short months, has identified 7 children with heart disease and one child requiring surgery for a tumour.

We also hope to fund cleft palate surgeries. These cost in the region of £200 – a relatively small amount for us but it has an incaculable effect of a child's life chances in China.

Some pictures here to show LWB at work - makes it all worthwhile!
