The Burn Unit. For Jaffna Hospital
Inbox
| x |
|
Int:
Med Heath Org: ( IMHO) is a group od Docs, A/Cs, Lawyers etc; in USA,
PURELY Voluntary, without any over head costs( except- may be for some
expenses like money transfers. Have 'offices' all over the world with
many with Tax Exempt status. They help & aid/ raise funds- Not only
in SL & other countries too.
The
Burn Unit will need renovation of an old Space, equipping like an ICU
style & other Stuff. Staffing & training in SL or India so on so
forth. Prolonged Plastic surgery Care. All help is welcome. This will
be the Only one at present in N&E. I would think in a Teaching
Hospital is essential- it has advanced a lot- I would think there will
be a lot of burn victims, children & adults in these areas.
Sincerely,
Jey/Gunsie

Thought for the day
When we die, our money remains in the bank...
Yet, when we are alive, we don't have enough money to spend.
In reality, when we are gone, there is still a lot of money not spent.One business tycoon in China passed away. His widow was left with $1.9 billion in the bank, and she married his chauffeur.
His chauffeur said:-
"All the while, I thought I was working for my boss... It is only now, that I realize that my boss was all the time, working for me !!!"The cruel reality is:
It is more important to live longer than to have more wealth.
So, we must strive to have a strong and healthy body, It really doesn't matter who is working for who.
In a high end hand phone, 70% of the functions are useless!
For an expensive car, 70% of the speed and gadgets are not needed.
If you own a luxurious villa or mansion, 70% of the space is usually not used or occupied.
How about your wardrobes of clothes?
70% of them are not worn!
A whole life of work and earning...
70% is for other people to spend.So, lets make a New Year resolution to make full use of our 30%.Go for medical check-ups even if not sick.
Drink more water, even if not thirsty.
Learn to let go, even if faced with grave problems.
Endeavor to give in, even if you are in the right.
Remain humble, even if you are very rich and powerful.
Learn to be contented, even if you are not rich.
Exercise your mind and body, even if you are very busy.
Make time for people you care aboutemail sent by Kamalini Kanapathippillai
