A note from Israel Kalyesubula from a hospital in Mulago, Uganda where we
shipped 100 of our small children's quilts.
....you learn what we are doing with the quilts you so generously donated.....
We shared the quilts with our neighboring pediatric ward in the department.
We spread all our cots with the quilts.
The hospital washes them before the next patient or whenever they are soiled.
The quilts are very beautiful.
Let the Almighty our Lord bless the hands that made them and the hearts
that provided them.
On behalf of the Ward 11 staff, patients, their attendants,
Mulago hospital department of pediatrics and all of us in Uganda I
thank everyone involved in making being hospitalized in Mulago remain as
comfortable as it can possibly be made.
