From the Partners Team in Shan State
3 August 2017
Thank you so much for this great fundraising effort—these people must have such strength to be able to even think of such things in their time of grief. And what a legacy to remember and honour their little boy-to go on bringing life and health to many people including many babies.
A baby was born prematurely here about 4 weeks ago, and Lao Pwe looked after him so well, gentle and knowledgeable and patient. And also a child was admitted who was very sick and getting worse, but Shwe Yen was confidently making the right decisions. Both these young women are medics trained earlier in the programme and both have then had the starting place to do other training since.
The lives of these families, these young women, and all of Shan State have been strengthened and enriched by the training and we will remember and honour Jamie and Paula and this little boy who will be a part of it all.
With love,
Dr Ken & Dr Alison McFarlane
