During our last trip to SAGE HOSPITAL we organised a two day medical child examination (KinderUnerSuchung) for about 200 pupils of the school "Les Cajoutiers".

These children belong to the poorest population-layer in Senegal and all live in the villages surrounding SAGE Hospital.

For 80% of these children this visit to a doctor was a first time happening! They recieved a complete check- up and went through the following medical stations:

1. our pediatrist Dr. Labou
2. a dentist
3. an ophthalmologist
4. all children were given an "anti- parasite" treatment
5. all vaccinations were updated
6. necessary medication was given directly at our Pharmacy at the SAGE Hospital  
7. eventually reading glasses were distributed

This check might be beside their education at the school another small step into a - hopefully - better future.

This wounderful project was free of charge for the children and their families. It could only realised with the help and generous donation of all the friends and sponsors of SAGE Hospital e.V., who have always supported and trusted us in our actions. We would like to thank all of them who helped us make this happen.

"Les Cajoutiers" is an association in Warang/Senegal that helps children in difficulties to find a better future.

The schoolproject managed by Sophie Camara-Corynen from Belgium is a real succes. After three years the school counts already 180 students.

In the two comming years, the school is expecting over 500 students, this means that in those two years the school has to expand and build six classes in 2011. The total costs are paid by privat sponsors.

At our last trip to Senegal the Sage Hospital supported the school with urgently needed equipment and material like paper, pens etc. And of course we brought some sweets for the kids...

The Sage Hospital e.V. again was invited by his protector the major of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit to present the project at the annual "Hoffest" in the city hall.

This year we showed an exhibition in cooperation with Marco Riedel from Room Division.

Together with the children of Warang we worked out some pictures with the theme "it's in your hands" at our last trip to Senegal. They painted their thoughts about the relationship to the hospital. This was initiated to give them a feeling of partnership and responsibility for each other.

The result were 18 small pieces of art which we sold to interested guests. The profit will proceed directly to the project again.

There are still some pictures left. If you are interested please contact Marco at marco@roomdivision.com.
