Story

Hi there!  My name is Emma and I am a cardiothoracic scrub nurse at The Prince Charles Hospital in Queensland, Australia.

 

In November, I will be travelling to Tanzania, Africa. I am volunteering with Open Heart International, and using my time and skills to help make a difference.

 

As an expert team of health professionals, we will be providing education & training to the local doctors and nurses then together, perform vital surgery to repair heart defects in both paediatric and adult patients across 7 days.

 Our goal is always to teach the local team, as much as we all like to operate and do as many cases as we can, (and there are literally thousands) the sooner we assist them to do this work with confidence the sooner they are operating every day and starting to meet the needs locally.

Open Heart International has been travelling the world since 1986.  In excess of 165 project visits have been coordinated and over 6,000 lives have been transformed!

 

By supporting this important work you are providing much needed funds to support the project costs including supplies, travel expenses, and equipment.  Taking large teams and lots of equipment around the world doesn't come cheaply, so every single piece of support will help make a difference.

 

To donate, simply click on the Donate Now button.  Your donation is secure via our internet portal, and you will receive your tax deductible receipt via email instantly.

 

Thanks for your support!
