Dear Friends, Donors, and Well-Wishers,
From India, greetings!
We hope that you are in excellent health and spirit when we send you our project's first status report.
The first three months of our new project, Changing Lives Bone by Bone, have just ended. The project has made excellent progress over the past three months and has had a significant influence on saving the lives of persons who have been in accidents on the National Highway System.
The Gatorbhai Himmatbhai Patel (Bidaj), Orthopedic Hospital, Bareja, is where the Changing Lives Bone by Bone project is being carried out. In Gujarat, the hospital is located on National Highway No. 8. Due to speed and high traffic, there have been numerous casualties every day.

The hospital also offers orthopaedic therapy for local inhabitants of nearby villages who have joint problems and other orthopaedic problems.
