We received the following message from Theresa L.
Dear friends On September 29, 2008, Dr. Kachinga Sichizya, a Zambian Neuro Surgeon, will carry the Zambian flag up Mt. Kilimanjaro in an effort to raise $60,000 needed to buy incubators for Beit Cure Hospital in Lusaka. Dr. Sichizya performs free life saving surgeries at Beit Cure Hospital to Zambia's underprivileged children who would otherwise not afford these surgeries. Should Dr. Sichizya climb this mountain alone? Of course we all can't climb Mt. Kilimanjaro but we can see Dr. Sichinga to the top with donations to this cause. If you are interested in donating (any amount) or just a word of support to this courageous man and his selfless cause, please call Beit Cure Hospital at 260-1-241-880-12 or Dr Sichizya at kasichizya@yahoo.com Thanks.Theresa Lunguwww.Booksforzambia.com
