Last night we made kites with the children to play with since it was very windy here in Israel. They got to decorate them how ever they wanted and fly them as well. We had new Australian volunteers who not only went to the house and played with the children but visited the 6 children in the hopsital.

Saving a heart in the nick of time

By Cnaan Liphshiz


Heart http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1...

A dramatic race against time involving a sick Ethiopian boy and an international team of volunteers ended in success earlier this month, when Israel-based doctors fully repaired the boy's failing heart. "We're used to dramatic cases, but this one is unusual even by our standards," said Tamar Shapira, the international relations coordinator for Save a Child's Heart - the local nonprofit which saved the life of nine-year-old Tamru Dmase.
