Soy, a 64-year-old woman from Cambodia, has one daughter and four grandchildren. She's experiencing a hypermature cataract in her left eye, causing partial blindness. “Soy has been partially blind for the past year. She has been unable to work as a rice farmer and has a hard time cooking and caring for her family,” shares our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). In her spare time, Soy enjoys listening to the radio and the monks praying at the pagoda. Together we can ensure Soy’s vision is restored. For just $150, Soy will receive cataract surgery which will improve her eyesight and prevent future blindness. CSC tells us, “Soy is most looking forward to joining the ceremonies and visiting family in another province.”

Say hello to Nway. He's six-years-old and lives in Burma with his parents and younger sister. "He is a very cheeky and active boy," Burma Border Projects tells us about Nway. "He enjoys playing football with his friends and hanging out with his dad." Nway has a cleft lip and palate. He really wants to go to school but due to his condition he hasn't been allowed to enroll. Nway's parents both harvest tea to take care of their family; it goes without saying that Nway's welfare is important to them. Nway and his mother made the three-day trek to Thailand so that Nway could seek care at BBP. For $300 clinicians will perform cleft lift and palate repair for Nway. "Surgical repair will improve the look and appearance of Nway's face," BBP writes. "Treatment will allow him to correct his cleft lip and palate. Treatment will also improve his breathing, speech and language development." "Nway hopes he can go to school next year," BBP continues. "His parents hope that he will become a medic one day so he can help other children with cleft conditions." Let's fund Nway's care and help push him in all of the right directions.

Meet Emilly, a 22-year-old woman from Kenya! She lives with her hardworking husband, who works as a barber and farmer, and their firstborn child. Emilly recently found out some exciting news – she is four months pregnant with her second baby! Emilly, like all mothers, wants the best for her unborn child. “I go to church every Saturday to pray for my family.

Chambi recently had an accident with hot water and burned her right leg. She was meant to begin class one at this time, but has had to delay school right now because of the huge wound she has from the accident. "Chambi tries to join other children and play," the AMHF team tells us. "Many times she gets hurt where the wound is and that becomes the end of her playing for that day." Seven-year-old Chambi from Tanzania lives with her parents and six siblings and is known to be a happy and friendly little girl. Clinicians at AMHF have recommended a skin graft to help care for Chambi right now. The cost of the procedure is $780. Chambi's parents are small-scale farmers who work hard to support their family; they are unable to cover this fee by themselves. That's where we can help, Watsi. “When I get well I will go to school and study hard so that I can become a nurse,” says Chambi happily. Let's get her there, one step at a time.
