Editor, I read a touching story in The New Times about a young child, Abner Gahaya Cyusa, who was born with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), a condition where one or more holes are found in the wall that separates the right and left ventricles of the heart.
Editor,I read a touching story in The New Times about a young child, Abner Gahaya Cyusa, who was born with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), a condition where one or more holes are found in the wall that separates the right and left ventricles of the heart. However, it is encouraging to hear that there is still a chance to save the child’s life, by contributing about $15,000, so he can travel to India for lifesaving surgery. He story follows another one, also published in The New Times, concerning a young man, identified as Egide Ntihabose, who has been hospitalized for more than five years as a result of a spinal injury he sustained during a cow attack.This is my suggestion: Suppose the government established a fund to which all employees can contribute a monthly fee monthly of, say 1 per cent or 0.5 per cent of their net salary. This can create a pool of funds, which can always be used for such cases. DidierEurope
