Call for action:Volunteers Needed!
April 21st
marks the three-year
anniversary of our third heartpatient Socheat Nha. In 2010,
Socheat underwent a successful
heart surgery at Childrens Hospital in
Santiago, Dominican Republic. This
operation would not have been
successful without the expertise of Dr.
Rodrigo Soto and his cardiac team
from International Childrens Heart
Foundation. Socheat has since fully
recovered without any complications.

Quote of the Month:Volunteering can be a thankless job, but you do so not for the
fame or the fortune, but for something you feel good about;
and the beautiful part about it is that you don't need to have
a Ph.D. to care, you just need a heart. And my heart is
'without boundaries.
