Heart Saved of 3 year old Boy from Angola

2000 children from 33 countries have been helped by Israeli Save A Child's Heart

Recently a 3-year old Angolan boy is the 2000th child to be treated by Save a Child's Heart (SACH), the Israeli-based international humanitarian project providing life-saving heart surgeries and follow-up care for children from developing countries. http://www.saveachildsheart.com/home1.html

A 3-year old boy from Angola underwent life saving heart surgery on Tuesday (July 29 2008), at the Wolfson Medical Center in Holon. Dalton Antonio Domingos is the first Angolan child to be operated in Israel and is the 2000th child to be treated by Save a Child’s Heart.

Dalton was brought to Israel, with three other children from Angola, by Save a Child’s Heart and by the Israeli “LR” group, who initiated and paid for the flights and for the treatment of the children. “LR” group” operates in Angola in various fields, including agriculture, and helps the society there recover and unite after the civil war.

Angola is the 33rd country from which Save a Child’s Heart brings children for life saving heart surgery.

Dalton will stay in Israel with his mother another month to recover and then will return to his father who is waiting for him in Angola.
