= Hi All,

Basal and Ayo, this email is to introduce= =C2=A0you to sponsors and advocates in the USA=C2=A0and Bulawayo who want t= o=C2=A0initiate a program in Zimbabwe for children with heart disease. Thur= ston and Ntando, Basil, and Ayo previously supported our initial trip to Rw= anda and have been asking me if there was a project that they could assist = within Sub-Saharan Africa. Basal, Ayo, Thurston, and Ntando, let me introdu= ce you to Tendai Moyo. Tendai is the founder=C2=A0of Brave Little Hea= rts Zimbabwe=C2=A0(BLHZ)=C2=A0in Bulawayo. Thurston a= nd Ntando are the President and Secretary of the Makhosi Michaela Fou= ndation.=C2=A0

I visited Harare, Pari Hosp= ital, and the University of Zimbabwe. I toured the hospital and met with su= rgeons, anesthesiologists, and ICU nurses. I presented our work worldwide a= nd then listened to the local team's presentation. We prepared a propos= al that covered multiple options for assistance. Following my departure fro= m Harare, I never received a response regarding our proposal.=C2=A0

Thurston and Ntando would like to make the inaugural trip= from March 23 to 30, 2025. If we can make the trip on this date, a number = of requirements will need to be resolved quickly. Basal and Ayo, I hope thi= s project is one you can support. I think that a call=C2=A0between you, Thu= rston, and Ntando would be very helpful in determining if this project is a= fit for you.=C2=A0

Over the last few years, we ha= ve supported BLHZ with medications for the children, hospital equipment, an= d funding for Heart Day events. Tendai has been a true champion for childre= n with heart disease in the Bulawayo region. She will be a valuable resourc= e and knows Zimbabwe's political landscape.=C2=A0

<= div>I did not want to share WhatsApp numbers in order to maintain your=C2= =A0individual privacy. However, I am sure that you will share them with you= rselves/

I hope we can make this effort work on th= e third attempt; the children of Zimbabwe with heart disease are dying dail= y and need our help.=C2=A0

=C2=A0I look forward to= hearing from you,
