Three children from Masakenari flown to see hearing specialists.

Two brothers Mark and John to receive hearing aids at ages 8 and 14. Thanks in part to the SPAN (Specialized Patient Action Network) data base developed by volunteer Joe Barnett of the UK, the two boys will hear their mother call their name normally for the first time in their lives. Children in remote villages need access to these critical services at a much earlier age. Hearing the teachers voice during class for example is critical to a child's education.
