Lira!

Not sure if you remember this little boy, his name was Lira (11) years old. He had fallen down from about 10 meters (30 feet) and broken his back. This happened in September/October 2013.

I just received news that he passed away Saturday. Not sure about the circumstances, but he had been in and out of the hospital since the accident. He went home during my apprenticeship at Andranomadio. Before they left I asked them, the father, if they could keep me updated on how things went with him. Lira was so happy to be able to go home, despite being paralyzed. He didn't know for sure if he'd ever be able to walk again, because of the numbness in his legs. During the hospitalization he had some feeling, but not enough to be able to walk.

My prayer and thoughts goes to his family and friends. Just wanted to keep you informed, just like I promised.

Andranomadio!

Some of you are only following me or reading this blog but not on my friends list on facebook.
I would like to get as many ppl involved in this project as possible.

Many of you know that I had my last apprenticeship at a hospital in Antsirabe, Madagaskar. At Andranomadio to be more specific. With that, there has been a thing on my heart to share and do for a long time.
During surgeries at the hospital, unfortunately the power often goes out. And then one have to use a flash light, a head lamp or your flashlight on your cell to get the operation done. That is unfortunately very common.
So I would like for you to consider:
Do you want to help with a donation to get a generator so that the "bloc" always will have power when they are in surgery!
Join the group Andrdranomadio, generator on facebook. And from there you can contribute toward a generator, if you like. No pressure to anyone - but when the money is all in - you will be notified.
