In this episode we talk about:

 

- How it all started 25 years ago, when a doctor in Ethiopia came into contact with 2 young girls with Congenital heart disease. He contacted a professor in America and asked for help. This began the start of Save a Child's Heart, in Israel. They don’t only perform the surgeries, but also train doctors inside their own countries to perform the surgeries. 

 

- “Mending hearts, building bridges”.  David shows us a wonderful video of a Palestinian patient, Hamza. Hamza underwent open-heart surgery at Wolfson Medical Center (WMC) in Holon, Israel, by the SACH volunteer medical team. His recovery from this surgery was very complicated.

 

This is a story about a medical team who fought tirelessly for the life of a critically ill child, a story of a brave little boy who survived against all odds, and a story of people, of human beings, helping each other regardless of their origin and religion. This is the story of Save a Child's Heart:
