Burn Injury Assistance
A great need in the remote regions where former refugees and the poor lives is accidental burns. We are seeing a growing number of burn victims and they come to us with serious injuries. The medical staff is learning how to care for burn injuries. In the last two years we have advocated for two children to get help in America. Yulce and Vino had horrific burns and we were able to find them help in America.
There are many others who have come to us for burn treatment. We are planning on sending two of our Indonesian staff to Los Angeles to be trained in burn care. We believe we can prevent the serious damage by providing proper treatment and therapy as soon as we can care the burn victim. We also plan to organize a burn prevention program that can be taught in villages, churches and mosques.
The hope is to help prevent the accidental burns that happen all too frequently. Read about the stories highlighted in this section. Yulce, Vino were cared for in America but Daud, Anto and many others were cared for by our medical staff.
