Last year they dedicated a physiotherapy room and this year, they will be working to support a project with the International Federation for Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida as well as Handicap International Vietnam. The gift of the shunts were magnificent, and there are 2 surgeons undergoing special training at this time in order to complete endoscopic surgery training. Every little bit helps - we're here for the long haul. Our daughter was born premature with rickets in Vietnam and our son was born blind in Nepal. Both times we were offered 'normal replacements' - but they were ours from the moment we heard their names. Thanks to their access to nutrition and health care here - there are normal healthy child who can walk and see... We have been so thankful we have chosen to support Paulskids. It was Paul himself, who found our children and created families for life. As the adoptive parent of special needs children himself, he practices instead of preaching. Please consider us this holiday season.
