Though resources are scare and limited, we are satisfied that we are able to make a dent and a difference in the
lives of less fortunate.  The picture of that little girl took our breath away; the expression on her face makes all of
the effort worthwhile.   
You can help other girls like her when you donate to project:
OPTION: Offering a Promise of Triumph over
Intense and Overwhelming Needs.

About fifty nurses and other health workers attended the seminar. Nurses and nurses in training represent our
most valuable resources and constitute our front line in the promotion and delivery of care.  You can help the
