Children in need of medical attention – who live with Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) or Rickets (softening of leg bones and knee joints) – and other challenges now have an affordable means of addressing such difficulties thanks to the Sandy Lane Charitable Trust.
International non-profit, humanitarian organization World Pediatric Project and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) joined forces with the Trust to be an angel for 10 children with medical issues, in an effort to change their lives.
This partnership with the World Pediatric Project, sees a team of consultants, surgeons, nurses, technicians, and other medical staff volunteering their time and resources to help with the Barbados-based venture.
Fighting back tears, Challis declared through the multi-pronged effort, these youngsters will get “whatever funding is necessary to ensure the…mission is achieved“.
“This October, doctors and associates of the World Pediatric Project will be coming to Barbados to evaluate a Cochlear Implant mission,” announced Challis.
“They will explore options and assess operating and programming facilities, with a view to training our own [local] doctors in the procedure.”
