Sary is a boy from Cambodia. He is a first grade student. He likes to study the Khmer language. He wants to be a police officer when he grows up. He enjoys drawing, eating Khmer soup, and playing with friends in his free time. He is an only child. For the past two years, he has had a recurrent infection. He experiences nasal obstruction, runny nose, and difficulty breathing. He also has difficulty sleeping. He needs to have a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy surgery to remove the infection so he can sleep well again. Surgery is scheduled for June 6 and will cost $221. His father says, "I hope my son's infection is gone after the surgery. He hasn't been sleeping well and we hope he feels better very soon."

Nheom is a grandmother from Cambodia. She is a rice farmer. She has three sons, four daughters, and twenty grandchildren. She likes to read about Buddha. Two years ago, Nheom developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her photophobia, blurred vision, and irritation. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Nheom learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On June 4, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $211 procedure. She says, "After surgery, I want to go to the local pagoda and participate in ceremonies."

Elijah is a baby from Kenya. He is a twin. Elijah has four other older siblings. His parents are farmers. Elijah has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain and increases intracranial pressure. As a result of his condition, Elijah has been experiencing an increasing head circumference and iritability. Without treatment, Elijah will experience severe physical and developmental delays. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $685 to cover the cost of surgery for Elijah that will treat his hydrocephalus. The procedure is scheduled to take place on June 13 and will drain the excess fluid from Elijah's brain. This will reduce intracranial pressure and greatly improve his quality of life. With proper treatment, Elijah will hopefully develop into a strong, healthy young boy.
