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.

Sage Hospital is a hospital in Senegal, West Africa, located two hours South of Dakar by car.  The hospital was renovated, extended and provided with medical and technical equipment and human resources with the help of Sage Hospital e.V., a charitable organisation set up by Cynthia Clottey and Katherina von Ballestrem in 2003.  The generous and dedicated support of private donors made the plans for the hospital a reality. The Sage Club also pledged to jointly 'adopt' the hospital organising regular events where all profits go directly to the good cause.  Everyone involved in the project does so without financial reward.

Every donation helps and goes directly to the hospital helping its estimated 700 patients a month.
