GUESTBOOK |

| Below is a selection of guestbook entries - including Appeals from site visitors which as far as we know are still ongoing. Recent information suggests that help for certain aspects of children's medical costs may possibly be available through organizations listed here, and if visitors to this page are in need of specific resources *locally*, it may be worth joining Freecycle, now operating in around 50 countries worldwide, here. |

28th September 2005 *** Waleed's successful operation We're delighted to say the following e-mail has just been received from Muhammad Ihsan Ul Haq in Pakistan, who wrote to us about his son Waleed, last November. "Mr. Waleed has got his successful heart surgery from the Children's Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio, USA ... and all funds were provided by 'The First Hand Foundation USA'. ... Waleed is very happy and back to his home in Pakistan. He is going to school." Our thanks to Muhammad for updating us :) We discovered the website for "The First Hand Foundation" listed on the CureSearch page here for "National and International Resources: Financial Assistance". |

30th March 2005 *** please help my son to see Hello, my name is Larisa. I am 44 years old. I have 10 years son Andrey. Doctors found out that Andrey have a tumour at the bottom of an eyeball and now for him is necessary surgical operation. At a birth his sight was 25% on each eye. I am divorced and my former husband does not help me. I am teacher in school. My salary is 75$ per month. Operation and rehabilitation costs approximately 8000$. If I shall sell everything that I have, money for operation will not turn out. I address about the help in the government and welfare funds, but all of them speak that I waited half of year. I wait 2 years, but it has not given any result. His sight worsens every year and after long years of treatment he sees only on 10% and if the operation isn't performed urgently, then gradually his sight absolutely will disappear. I address to you with the request for the help. Please, help to acquire hope for recovery sight of my child. I shall be the happiest mother if my son will be the healthy child. Even if you can help some dollars, that it can play a role in this case. God blesses you!

30th March 2005 *** please help my son My name is Julia and I am from Russia. I am a mother of a 6 year old boy, Dima, who has many health problems including deformities, bronchial asthma, dermatitis, severe allergies and MASS phenotype, Marfan related syndrome. I can provide all medical documents, on request. My son needs a special diet, and very expensive medicines for asthma and allergy. The doctor has also prescribed to take Dima to mountains or to the southern sea in summer every year, to help reduce the asthma and dermatitis. But we can hardly afford to buy all the medicine and special food he needs - how can we afford holidays? Plus I myself suffer from many illnesses and need medicine almost all the time. I was working as a secretary but was asked to leave after my son got an asthma aggravation and I had to stay at home for 1.5 weeks with him. I'm a university graduate, my specialization is tourist management. But I couldn't get a job in tourism, and had to work as a secretary. Here in Russia it is very difficult for a woman with a child to find a job. What worries me is MASS, which is a serious rare disease. It seems there is no real treatment of this disorder. I am looking for any kind of help, info on MASS treatment, and also contact with people with MASS or whose children have MASS, to exchange experiences. I would also very much appreciate any other kind of help like used clothes, toys or vitamins or soy products (there are many other foods my son cannot tolerate) or medicine. If there is someone who does not need boys' clothes anymore, would it be possible to send them to my son? I would be so very grateful for used boys' clothes, shoes, toys, etc. Sizes: clothes 122-128 cm (6-7 years), shoes 29-31 (European size). It is always hard to ask and I feel guilty doing this, but it is for my son. I would prefer to help others than to be helped, but I am in such a difficult situation, and it seems I do not have other way out than to ask for a help. Thank you very much for reading my letter. I close with hope to receive any reply. Best wishes, Julia Please note: as per other guestbook entries we must request people pursue verification enquiries independently - Penny.

11th November 2004 *** Please help save my son's life A letter was received from Muhammad Ihsan Ul Haq, in Pakistan, asking for help for his then 3-year-old son Waleed, who needed an urgent heart operation. We're very pleased to say Waleed has now had his operation (see update here). |

1st May 2004 *** Hi from Russia
Further to my letter of July 17 2000, a wonderful lady in the USA was kind enough to help my little daughter Polly (then 5 years old) with getting powerful digital hearing aids. This has changed my daughter's life so very much! Polly is 9 now - she studies at a regular secondary school in Cheboksary and is considered to be one of the best pupils in her class. She enjoys studying very much and loves to read books like "Gone with the Wind"; she speaks English well and I help in her class as a guest teacher. Unfortunately Polly's hearing has now got much worse. Her left ear hears nothing even with the most powerful digital hearing aid, and Polly's doctor has recommended us to apply for a cochlear implant. The Children's Hospital in Seattle has already reviewed Polly's Russian records and feels that she may be a candidate for surgery. However we CANNOT AFFORD the cost of this ..... Polly needs US$75000-80000 for this operation and we don't know where to turn. Would any of the people who visit your site now, be able to help us? If anyone can help in any way, or has any questions, please feel free to contact me at the address given below. Thank you ..... Yevgeniya Footnote: see also Appeals Russia |

16th September 2003 *** CHARLIE YELLOW Further to my earlier letter I am delighted to report that after the hospital in Minnesota kindly reduced its fees, Charlie has finally had the operation to repair and extend his oesophagus - and is able to eat solid food for the first time in his life. Help is still needed though - please see Charlie's website. John Soulsbury (Charlie's granddad) [England, UK] |

7th March 2003 *** excellent resource, thank you so much!! I have an 11 year old and a 7 year old daughter, both struggling with math. They both understand the concepts, however, both need to practise more frequently. I have been discouraged by the cost involved in expensive on-line training and I don't believe video or audiotape are the right way to teach your children. Then I found your web page, purely by chance. It was sent straight from Heaven. Your math worksheets are perfect. I can hand them out, one at a time, and we can move at their pace. Now our evenings are spent not blindly staring at a computer screen or listening to a noisy TV and VCR but as a family learning math, and enjoying it! Thanks again, Footnote: free Maths worksheets - Addition, Times Tables, Division, Fractions, Numbers 1-100 (square numbers, prime numbers etc.) |

27th January 2003 *** Doctors on Call for Service I am a Congolese orthopedic surgeon, LSO from the University of Brussels (ULB) in Belgium. Since 1997, I have been based in Goma, eastern Congo, with Doctors on Call for Service, collaborating with Christoffel Blindenmission for orthopedic surgery for disabled children.
The problem we are suddenly confronted with is a drastic reduction of our CBM budget by 80%. We are aware that many agencies are facing shortfalls because of the economic recession; but in our case, it was unexpected because we had even been encouraged by CBM to plan new sites for outreach and new training programs in 2003. In particular, we are distressed because of our promises to 43 children in Nyamilima and Jomba, and 64 children in Butembo. We had promised to continue the training we started in Karawa and Nebobongo, and we had hoped to respond positively to an invitation from Vanga this year, since we could not include it in the 2002 program. For each of the children on these lists, with sequels of polio, with club feet or with hare lips, our visit was their only hope of help, in a country torn apart by war, where the economy has ground to a halt, and health services are reduced to the most basic levels, if they still exist at all. I am distressed not to be able to keep my promise. I am looking for all the possible ways to reach these places and honor our commitment. That is why I am writing to ask for help to make these visits. Our visit to Nyamilima would be for one week, twice during the year: the last one week visit, with 22 surgeries cost 7670$, covering transport and accommodation for the team, all surgeries, X rays, medicines, plaster, hospitalization and physiotherapy. Similarly, for Butembo, the last visit with 23 surgeries cost 8420$. The visits to Karawa and Nebobongo were combined, and the flights were subsidized by USAID on Airserv: over three weeks, we did 74 surgeries which cost 33630$. In 2003, we were planning to cover Karawa and Vanga together at the same cost, and visit Nebobongo for 30 surgeries separately at a cost of 12600 $. The patients are selected by the Community Based Rehabilitation services based at the host hospitals, and they are responsible for follow-up after we leave. The patients are not abandoned. Some patients need second or third surgeries, and that is another reason for my frustration in not being able to come this year. Only those who are selected by the CBR program have subsidized surgery: others contribute what they can, despite their poverty which is typical of all the Congolese population during these six years of war. I would be very grateful indeed if anyone can help us to do one or some or all of these visits this year. The lives of the children we help will be forever transformed. Dr. Kasereka M. Lusi Orthopedic surgeon and Regional Director of DOCS Doctors on Call for Service Footnote: see also Appeals Congo |

9th September 2001 *** homeless children in the USA 
There are an estimated 1.3 million homeless kids living on the streets in the USA. Many have had no choice but to run away, to escape untenable home environments - and find themselves trapped on the streets with seemingly no way back to a normal way of life. Stand Up For Kids is making a real difference. We are all volunteers and have built the largest nonprofit organization in the US that works on the streets with homeless and street kids. Did you know that in some states it is illegal even to feed homeless and street kids? Many of these are kids that *can't* go home ..... so what alternatives are left for them? 13 kids on the street die EVERY DAY. We would appreciate any help anyone can offer. If you'd like to help make a difference - with a donation, or fundraising, or a little of your time, or maybe providing a few of the practical items we need to help these kids, please e-mail me on RickK@standupforkids.org. Thank you. Best Regards, Rick Koca - Founder and CEO - StandUp For Kids. [background - STANDUP FOR KIDS was founded in 1990 by retired U.S. Navy officer Richard L. Koca. In 1987 he had seen a CBS broadcast, 48 Hours, about street kids in San Diego, California. Rick was so disturbed by this report that when the Navy sent him to San Diego the following year, he immediately became involved in walking the streets to identify homeless teens and get them into shelters.] Footnote: see also Appeals USA |

31st August 2001 *** ADD in Sri Lanka
I am a parent of a 10 year old with learning disabilities. My home country
is Sri Lanka and government and private schools in Sri Lanka do not have
the facility to help children with ADD - unfortunately a child with ADD in
school is seen as a fool and a lazy student. As I am very much concerned about my
son's condition I have even tried to take him to the UK for an assessment and
tuition at a charity organisation. I was refused entry clearance for some
reason. Please could anyone who could help, contact me by e-mail? Fathima addsrilanka@hotmail.com Footnote: see also Appeals Sri Lanka |

12th March 2001 *** Canadian Schools I found your website while searching for information about public schools in British Columbia and schooling as a whole in Canada. I am from South Africa, and will be will be emigrating to Canada in about one year from now. I have 2 children - aged 10(Gr 5) & 7 (Gr 2) and have always been actively involved in their school life. I have just been re-elected for a second 3 year term of office on the school Governing Body. Having made the decision to emigrate to Canada, it has become important for all of us to start doing some research about the Canadian education system and schools in general. We have found this website to be most informative in all respects and have bookmarked it to return regularly. Thank you for this superbly laid out and informative resource. If possible, I would like to communicate with any ex-South Africans now living in Canada - especially in BC. Kind Regards, Angela Foxcroft - foxcrfta@iafrica.com Footnote: see Schools Canada, part of Schools Interchange. |

20th October 2000 *** What a wonderful website! As a webdesigner, I've browsed countless websites and can honestly say yours

example of why and how the Internet can benefit the world. I look forward to
seeing how your organisation develops! |

19th September 2000 *** I am the founder of the organisation known as First Step International Foundation. The organisation is a child help and development initiative based in the Gambia. Our charity is not yet registered, but has a board of trustees made up of individuals of mainly Gambian nationality. By God's grace, we will inaugurate and register before the end of October 2000.[please see below per charitable registration] We try to encourage and train children in education as well as farm work as the only avenue of eradicating poverty and backwardness in Africa and as a way of encouraging development through self help efforts. At the moment, we have seven workers who are being paid what I might consider as peanuts but who have the interest of these desperate children at heart. The tuition we offer these children (about 60 of them) is not entirely free, but is highly subsidised since we have been using contributions received from individuals in September 1999 to offset running expenses. We have now almost exhausted these reserves and that is why we have to cry out, for failing to do so, we might be forced to wind up thus marking the end of a dream, or we might be forced to impose fees that might be unaffordable to the parents of these children. We are in dire need of any form of teaching aid that one could lay hands on, both old and fairly used ones that could be reconditioned, eg instructional materials like children's ladybird books/rhymes which are lacking in this very poor country and any one that you come across is very expensive. We also request any form of financial assistance that might be at the disposal of any sponsor with the interest of child development at heart. Our school phone number is 220-390760 and we can be contacted through e-mail at fsif@qanet.gm and fsif@hotmail.com. Muhammed Onwueyiagba |

24th March 2000 *** Street Children, Romania [see also 2002 update below] ... (excerpt) ... I am writing in the hope that someone amongst your visitors may be able to help
us. My husband and I plan to move to Romania to work long term there with street children. We will
have a little support from some Christian friends but we think that we will need to
be at least partly self-supporting while living there ... Our heart is with these children, this summer we drove over with our own
children and spent the summer there with the kids and more than anything we
would like to do something. In Bucharest also and other places in Romania the need
is great and the workers are few. 31st October 2002: We were delighted to receive this update from Ken & Katy: Editor's Note: Anyone who would like to support Ken & Katy's ongoing work in Romania can contact them at kat@arad.ro; we hope to be able to link to the website for "A Child's Dream" in due course - Penny. |

| 26th May 1999. *** Request (Chennai, India) *** see also Michael Tipper's article
about Chennai Dear Sir/Madam, I, the correspondent of St. Teresa's Matriculation School bring to your kind information that I have started the school on 14th June 1994 at Salamangalam, Padappai, Chennai, India with classes from Pre-KG to 8th std. There are many villages here, but no schools. We started with only 5 students which has gradually risen to 58 students at present. There are 4 teachers, 2 non-teaching staff. We teach English, Hindi, Tamil, Craft, Yoga, Music, Science and Maths. Although we are trying our best to attract more students, we have failed to do so because their parents cannot afford to provide formal education for their children, and our own lack of funds prevents us from giving concessions for admittance. The nominal fees we are now receiving are not enough to maintain the school. Since our sole aim is to educate students below the poverty line and to provide vocational courses like tailoring, handicrafts, carpentry and computing from the next academic year, we would be grateful for any help offered in enabling us to assist deprived students thus fulfilling their future aspirations to become good and useful citizens of this country. Benedict Xavier E-mail: bene_98@hotmail.com Footnote: this e-mail came in for our "Appeals" area. As inclusions for Appeals are generally from established charities it was felt that this letter would be best placed in our "guestbook". We would recommend that anyone wishing to actively support this project should make independent enquiries to verify all the background as we are unable to provide related information. We do not wish to exclude worthy projects from our site but it must be clearly understood that we have no means of establishing the accuracy - or source - of such e-mails and all responsibility for verification rests with anyone replying to e-mails of this nature. - Penny [however see Mike Tipper's subsequent page about his visit to St. Teresa's]. * 2nd April 2001 - e-mail received from BX giving the name of the new Trust through which the school now operates, to facilitate verification enquiries.

| 7th April 1999. *** Jodie Choules (UK) A letter was received from Paul Draper, about the Jodie Choules appeal which needed to raise Ł25,000 for a 2-year-old little girl from Sunbury, Middlesex. Jodie suffers from cerebal palsy and is unlikely ever to walk; she also suffers from epilepsy and poor hearing. Due to her disabilities, Jodie's home needed to be adapted to enable her to live on one level, which will ultimately improve her quality of life. We're delighted to report (November 2000) that Jodie's home has now been adapted [after help from various quarters, including her grandparents] - however we're informed that Jodie's parents are having trouble proving their negligence case against the hospital who have apparently "lost" the foetal traces which would have proved the time of her mother's arrival at the labour ward. We trust this matter will be properly resolved - Penny. |

| 11th January 1999 ** * Site Review. I was browsing the Internet looking for fundraising ideas for our cubs and scouts when I came upon your site. Upon investigation, I was most impressed with what I found. I plan on coming back and using some of your worksheets to help my child develop his reading. I also plan on telling a few friends about your site. I live in Canada, in New Brunswick and would like to see some Canadian schools featured. Sincerely, Karen Wilson E-mail: rkwilson@nbnet.nb.ca Extended links to Canadian schools on line 28.1.99 - see http://www.happychild.org.uk/schools/americas/index.htm#canada - Penny. |

My name is Yevgeniya. I'm a 38-old mom of 2 charming kids. We live in Cheboksary, the capital of the Chuvash republic.
In Goma, DOCS has developed a centre of excellence for
orthopedic surgery and for training young doctors in
rehabilitation services. In addition, with an
experienced team of anesthetist, OR nurse and
physiotherapist, we have done two years of outreach
surgery in several sites in the whole of Congo:
Nyamilima, Butembo, Karawa and Nebobongo. The
outreach has been funded by CBM. It has become so
successful that one third of our orthopedic surgeries
in 2002 were done on outreach. Complicated cases are
sent to Goma, where there is a full range of
rehabilitation services.
