Baby Azi Finally Gets His Heart Surgery

4th World Love had its first volunteer show up a few months ago.  Even though I did it, it literally amazes me that people make their way halfway around the world (trust me, it's not easy getting there) and give their time/energy/soul to making the world a better place.  It warms me up.  Angela (our super-handy volunteer who was full of all kinds of ideas) is a super cool chick from Canada with some pretty dang good photo skills.  She snapped this photo of Baby Azi while she was in the village, and it honestly takes my breath away.  Azi has got to be the cutest kid in the WORLD.   The first time I met him, I wanted to snatch him  away forever...and guess I still do.  You might remember my photo in an old post of his itty-bitty ponytail (it looks like a little baby feather)?  How can you not want to eat him up?

Now at this very moment, little Azi is sitting tight with his family in Jakarta (still part of Indo, but a trillion miles away from Sembalun) getting heart surgery.  He came down ill a few months back and once I heard he needed a wad of cash for a life-saving heart surgery, 4th World went to work.  We quickly raised the $1300 needed to take care of Azi and he should be back home soon...just in time for me to see him again in March!

What a fantastic story of love and caring dished out by people towards strangers. We often get caught up in our own little dramas and neglect the greater drama going on in others lives. You and your efforts are so wonderful. How could anybody not love you for all the good you do.

I know this will sound like a cliche, but this post is really heartwarming (no pun intended). 4WL is doing amazing things.
