Princio & Fidelia

L'équipe de la clinic Princio pendant l'opération

Good news: After being fed every day at our clinic, Princio and Fidelia had put on enough weight over the past weeks to be operated yesterday. Our team organized Dr. Fernand a trip to come to Fort Dauphin to do the operation. There was no complications and both babies are doing well. They will continue coming to the clinic every day for checkups, desinfection and feeding until the wound has healed off completely. Well done our team on site and thank you Dr. Fernand for your time and great work!

Princio needs your help!

Le petit Princio et sa maman Le petit Princio

Yesterday a mum with her 9 month old baby came to ask us for help. Her son, Princio was born with a cleft palate. Because the mother didn’t the money to have him treated straight after birth, his jaw is now so deformed that he can barely eat. The only nutrition he can take is in liquid form and even this is becoming harder and harder. Now, Princio only weighs 4.3kg and urgently needs an operation. Unfortunatly there is no doctor in Fort Dauphin that could opérate him so we are now also looking for someone in the capital Antananarivo and the neighbour islands. We hope to find a doctor that can help him as son as possible. Please help us with your donation to finance Princio’s operation/treatment that will hopefully save his life. Thank you for your support!

Flashback: Zumbathon in Herschbach

Zumba-Parta (27) Zumba-Parta (28)

Our Charity Zumbathon has been a great success! We hoped for 40-50 people and were amazed by the amount of people who came. Besides the seven Zumba-Intructors, who came free of charge, we had a total of 85 participants who danced for Madagascar. We also had visitors who watched while enjoying a beer or one of our home-made cocktails. It was a great atmosphere and many people danced right till the end.

Visit at the maternity station

Today we went to the public hospital Befelatanana in Antananarivo. Mrs. Telina, the social assistant gave us an overview of the social cases she is working with at the moment. One incident was especially heartbreaking. Yesterday a 32 year old women was brought to hospital where she gave birth through a cesarian. The baby is presently in intensive care. According to a psychologial report the mum is disabled and has the mental state of a 2 year old. What makes the situation even worse is the fact that the baby is the result of  rape. The mum does not have the ability to understand what has happened to her and that she is now a mother. Her family is very poor and cannot afford the medication and treatment for mother and child. We have bought and organized everything necessary and will visit them again tomorrow.
