The girls are finally reunited with their families in Gomo and Dr Fasa says they everyone is very excited by the dramatic improvement in their freedom of movement and general enthusiasm for life.
Dr Fasa is arranging for both girls to attend a special boarding school in Medan to help them catch up with the education they have missed as a result of their burns and treatment. We are launching a new appeal on fundable to pay their final medical bill and to help with living and travel expenses.
Heart felt thanks from the girls and their families to all the donors and volunteers who have changed their lives. Zach, Chris and Lisa in particular have made extraordinary efforts and everyone at Island Aid would like to thank you and your families and friends for their kindness and hard work. The girls will now have a Christmas to remember with their family and friends.
