Today we have been to the hospital { Southern Philippines Medical Center } For the admission of the child Ali Nixon for his major heart surgery. { Patent ductus arteriosis } which will be paid for via this matching grant.
We have paid an initial sum for his nursing care and room and other essentials. We have also ensured the mother who will stay with him in hospital has funds for food.
More updates on his progress will be posted here.

A week or so back we had an early Christmas party for the kids from The School For The Blind. Each child received a branded pair of training shoes, while this was not financed via the matching grant it is of interest to the matching grant participants.
I had the opportunity to see Ali the child who had heart surgery fit and well and enjoying himself. I have uploaded photos of the party and of Ali and myself.
Regards,
Scott
