You may remember that we asked for donations sometime ago for a number of operations that Marwan required after sustaining horrific leg injuries in an airstrike in Mosul.

The staff at the ADRA/Adventisthelp emergency field clinic have taken on board organising the operations for Marwan in a hospital in Erbil.

About two weeks ago, Marwan underwent the first operation which included debridement of the wound and the bone and putting cement in between the fragments.

His second operation is scheduled for August.  We will keep you updated.

A donation for this first operation for Marwan was remitted from Operation Hope.  This donation was made possible from a bequest from Sandra Manco and her friends in memory of her ex husband Romano who passed away.
