The Miracle of Sound

We were able to be a part of a most amazing project.  The Women of Georgia in Kaheti asked for hearing aids for over 200 deaf people.  We asked them to pick out 15 people whose lives would be changed with a  hearing aid.  On July 5th we went to the clinic and met with the people selected.

  One was a Priest from the Georgian Orthodox Church - a very humble and grateful man.

We were able to be in the office as the doctor put the hearing aid into the ear.  It was amazing to be there to see and hear their reaction to being able to hear with the hearing aid.  All smiled with joy at the gift of sound.

This girl showed her appreciation with a kiss!

Her Aunt could not contain her happiness and shed tears of joy!

It was just heart warming to be a part of this project.  Above: social worker, Mom with deaf daughter, E/S Reese, Dr. Misha and Women of Georgia lady who organized the project.  This young girl was delightful - so happy and bubbly - she wants to be a beautician and they are going to look into getting her to school.  This project was so positive, we are going to meet with all these people again in a few months and see how the hearing aids are working out and what changes they've made in their lives.  We love this work!
