Second Fistula Surgeon – their loss our gain

In January 2006 when we first visited the Mercy ships in Texas we asked for a 2^nd surgeon to help Dave with on call and working together. This was turned down initially, but is now going to be fulfilled on 1^st September, by a national, which is a double privilege.

Alyona Lewis, a national of Sierra Leonean and Russian birth, has repaired 600 fistulas in 4 years at another charity hospital that closed three months ago. We know her quite well (and had a good chat on our flight last week!) and will give her a warm welcome.

Pray for good working and personal relationships.
