MORE NEWS ABOUT MELISSA'S DREAM

Local publicity for Melissa
We are pleased to let you know that the funds raised via the Sunsuper website have now been transferred to us. Melissa's dream to fund lifesaving resusitation equipment for our newborn babies has been featured in two of her local newspapers the Kiama Independent and the Illawarra Mercury.
Bram is now researching the most suitable resusitation equipment for Arrow Web Hospital so that we can install it as soon as possible.

The mattresses arrive
The mattresses and covers which were bought with the money donated for the container have arrived. This will make a real difference to the comfort of patients and the mattress covers will help reduce the spread of infection.
Thank you to everyone who kindly agreed to the "container funds" being used for this purpose.
Bram is still awaiting approval from the Ministry of Health for use of our ambulance which was converted from a second hand mutatu (also from the "container funds").

November visitors
Last month we welcomed Judith Barna a nurse from Germany, who came with her two colleagues from Kikuyu town orphanage. Judith hopes to visit us again next year.
