Claris dreamed of beeing self-sufficient! She is in her last year at school and she planned to either continue of her studies or learn a trade. But the strange noises in her heart and the constant tiredness of the last four years are going to force her to change her plans. Not long ago, she was sent to the Cardiac Centre Shisong for tests, where Dr. Cabral Tanchou diagnosed a severe mitral insufficiency and told her that she should be operated as soon as possible.

Justina, Claris's mother, a small farmer who has been a widow for many years, takes care alone of her five children in a country where school is not free and where there is no state health insurance. It is thus easy to understand why she is absolutely unable to contribute to the operation costs.

Brother Boniface, the director of the Social Office of the Cardiac Centre, ask the MI-DO donors for their help!
