Fairview Hotel Organized an Event at Fairview whereby all proceeds went to Save A Child Heart Kenya (SACH Kenya). SACH Kenya has saved 8 lives since its founding.
One of SACH’s Success Stories concerns Junior, pictured above:
Junior just turned two years old. He was admitted for evaluation and repair of his congenital heart disease on January 1, 2009. He was accompanied by his Aunt as his mother had just given birth to a healthy little brother. He lives with his extended family, which includes his parents, two other brothers and his grandparents in Nairobi. Junior is diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a large hole between the two ventricles of the heart and severe obstruction of the blood flow to the arteries of the lungs. On January 14, 2009 Junior underwent a diagnostic catheterization by Dr. Akiva Tamir and his team. This was followed on January 27, 2009 by complete surgical repair by Dr Lior Sasson and his team. After a short recuperation period in hospital and then at the SACH where Junior became a perpetual motion machine, he and his Aunt returned home to Kenya on February 26 2009.
