November 2007 has been an important month for all of us at The Little Wings Foundation. Many volunteers have supported our aim of raising funds for children with limb deformity in the Middle East and North Africa by selling Christmas cards at numerous fairs. Also, their support and unlimited energy was pivotal in our two first and very successful fundraising events in Dubai. Most importantly, we were able to finalize the affiliation agreement with the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) in a combined effort to improve the financial and medical resources for children requiring complex surgery to overcome physical disability. The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund has been known for many years to counter the isolation of the Palestinian children and make necessary treatment available. The Little Wings Foundation’s aims are very close to their cause. Physical disability, inborn or acquired, can lead to isolation. Providing help to those children is the very foundation of our charity. It therefore is my honor to have had the opportunity to spend one week in Ramallah as a Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon, providing the necessary care to many children with Orthopaedic conditions. This, I am certain, is only the beginning of a long lasting partnership with the PCRF which I am very much looking forward to.

THE FRED HALLOWS FOUNDATION
The Fred Hollows Foundation is inspired by work of the late Professor Fred Hollows, whose vision was for a world where no one was needlessly blind.
Working to continue Fred's vision, The Fred Hollows Foundation in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, have come together to form a global network to increase our collective impact in eradicating avoidable blindness around the world.
Through this new network, together, we will be able to enhance Foundation operations and programs in the countries where we work and bring funding bodies and program entities in a truly equal partnership.
Collectively working in over twenty countries world-wide, with the help of our supporters, we hope to build on our record of restoring sight to well over one million people.
