In reply to his gifts, donated but staunch charity workers,Jennifer Abubakar Abena, 28 and her father, Magudo, 52, the Doctor said “It is with great thanks to Jennifer and Magudo that we now have the supplies we treasure. Every little bit of help will mean that we can save more lives, protect more children from disease and perform emergency surgery without having to transport people to the closest town—which is twenty-eight miles away. This helps us to support and help out local community far easier than before. We will always be grateful to them for everything they do.”

As well as surgical masks, scrub suots, scalpels, syringes, and anaesthetic the hospital also received medicines and vaccines to prevent the spread of illness in the children.
The Charity was set up by Jennifer and her father some years ago. Their village needed funds to help rebuild its ailing community after droughts destroyed much of the land.

Their original target had been $10,000 but they exceeded that to reach the next one of $15,000. The funds will be used to build a new school house, 2 storeys high. Younger children of between six and eleven will be have the ground floor class, while the upper floor will be for the twelve to sixteen year olds. The school is due to be completed in two months.
