Beneficiaries

Since Changing Lives began, we have been able to give away over £2000. A number of Burmese people have benefited:

• Kyaw Maung (pronounced ‘Cho Mong’) who is paralysed as the result of a broken neck. Carolyn was the first doctor to treat him and subsequently arranged for him to be transferred to a Christian rehabilitation centre in the north of Thailand. Formerly a Buddhist, he has now found a faith in God. We continue to support Kyaw Maung through letters, personal gifts, prayers and on-going financial support. A particular need is for regular sponsorship as he will need care for the foreseeable future. He has no family of his own.
• A Burmese teenager who needs urgent heart surgery has also received our help. Her surgery is due to take place within the next few weeks.
• Other Burmese refugees who were in particular need have also received help from us. They are known personally to us and their situation was genuine.

We have also been able to give a donation towards the hospital ship ‘Africa Mercy,’ and to the specialist fistula hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
