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.

Message from Ceeya in Rwanda




It is Sunday in Kigali, and hot. We spent a lazy morning, due to a wicked jet lag sipping coffee overlooking Kigali. Yes to all who know Rwanda, I was at Bourbon Coffee. (One of Team Hearts favorites spots.) Jennifer, Kathy, and I sat and chatted about how special it was to see Erneste smiling at the airport with Dr. Mucumbitsi. Erneste joined us for dinner.


We met up with the Australian team, admiring the handiwork of Dr. Ian Nichols and team.... normal ups and downs of early ICU, which is why patients need ICU.... Already they have 8 in ward- couple looking close to going home! It was good to see Ali and her team moving competently with incredible compassion.


Today, organizational and planning meetings with the National Council of Nursing, King Faisal Staff...tomorrow Dr. Kaplan arrives-let the fun begin.
