Gaston

Bébé Gaston a une malformation cardiaque et sans opération il ne pourra pas survivre. Avec les fonds des donateurs nous avons pu constituer un dossier, Gaston a eu une echographie, radio et EEG et une visite auprès du pédiatre.
Médecins du Monde opère gratuitement les enfants atteints de problème cardiaque à Tana ou à l'étranger.
Ce jeudi 28 octobre Gaston part  à Tana avec sa maman pour consulter MDM et voir avec eux si  l'opération va être nécessaire. 
Nous avons payé le transport pour Tana avec une personne accompagnatrice ainsi que logement et les repas sur place .
Nous suivons l'histoire de Gaston de près et continuerons à vous informer.

Little Gaston has a malformed heart and without an operation most likely will not survive.  With the donations collected he has had an ultrasound, x-rays and an EKG and visits to a pediatrician and a medical dossier has been created for him.
Médecins du Monde, MDM, offers free heart operations for children who have serious or life threatning cardiac conditions either in Tana or overseas.
This Thursday, 28 October, Gaston and his mother will be going to Tana to consult with MDM to see if he can receive this operation.
We have made and paid for all the arrangements necessary regarding their transport with a companion, lodging and food.
We will closely follow Gaston's story and keep you posted.

OCTOBER UPDATE



The children at the ASPE Center are back at school after the holidays!  With the funds collected the students were ready on their first day back with new notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, rulers, and crayons all made possible through your donations.  The ASPE Center received school supplies for 50 students.

Also, the resident students now ALL have new mattresses for their beds thanks to donations made by Miriam, Jelane,  and the financial contributions made by employees of the Ambatovy Project collected by Mike Elder and Mami. 
The sewing class is now busy making the mattress covers with material we were able to supply.


The sewing class is also getting ready for Christmas by making crafts and needlework projects which they are hoping to sell at their Christmas Bazaar.  We will let you know when the Christmas Bazaar will take place so you can support these budding seamstresses!
