Just thought I'd put Edgar's story up here. He's the 24th photo from the top. The photo was taken by Dr. Bently Tailor (who led our trip to Africa).

Edgar was one of the little children we metin Angola. Originally, our cardiology team was going to Africa specifically to examine a little boy who we were trying to get to have heart surgery at Sick Children's Hospital here in Canada. While we were there, we found three more children who could use surgery. There were two little girls and Edgar here. Well, after returning from Angola, we pitched the cases of all four children to Sick Children's Hospital. To our great joy, last month we discovered that they were all accepted and that perparations were underway to bring them all to Canada. I felt so happy to know that Edgar would get the treatment he needed. Then, last week, we got an e-mail from Angola. Edgar had passed away before even getting the chance to come for treatment. I hope you'll all keep him in your hearts and prayers. He was such a little sweetheart; given to smiles and laughter. He was only 8 years old.

thanks for the feature

thanks for the feature although having read your message in the beginning i don't funny believe that you understand the complexity of the situation in africa and see the solution naively. but otherwise a very emotive collage!

i don't really see the solution that way. well, if you were to ask me, i would really love to help them NOW but unfortunately, i don't have the means to do it. and this feature i did is my LITTLE way to let other people know about their situation (you know what i mean? like spreading the word so that other people may come to realize something and who knows? maybe, just maybe, they will be touched by the story and do something for these children)
