After months of patience and perseverance we have finally received the upgraded hearing aids for our Kiriwinan medically trained heath provider to be able to be sent back to Kiriwina and provide help to our Caring for Kiriwina Village Health Volunteers. The severity of the hearing loss has complicated the process and there has been another slight delay today, the hearing aids should be fitted next Monday. We will keep you posted. I would like to thank at this point many people who made this dream a reality by donating time/energy and money to make this happen. Lone Asmin Sumbulla, the main donor behind this initiative, Doreen Baine (Hearing aid technician), Dr Pulotu at Ela Medical and especially Toks Bwiana (our In-country Manager).
