Team Heart's Mission to Rwanda: Claudine update

End of Year Giving to Team Heart

All proceeds from this gift will help fund Team Heart to provide cardiac surgery to young adults suffering from rheumatic heart disease in Rwanda, a country that has no surgical options. Team Heart is partnering with the citizens of Rwanda to build an "in country" cardiac surgery program, while developing early detection, prevention and education programs to prevent years of suffering and early deaths due to undiagnosed strep infection.

Claudine update

Gene Bukhman is back in Rwanda for a few weeks and sends updates from all patients. The small group returning in November is excited to see all of our patients. Gegeon sends photos of Miss Claudine (above) taken recently...ready for school in January. It is amazing to see the difference when your entire body is not using all the energy just to breathe and provide circulation...she is now gaining healthy weight and looks beautiful!
