I've been involved with the Fistula Foundation since I moved to the US in 2005. Working full time meant I had to cut down on my 'hands on' volunteering activities and once I heard about their work - and how even a modest donation can save women from absolute misery - well it was the easiest decision to sign up as a monthly donor. When I found out that Dr Hamlin was Australian (like I am), I thought it a sign to double my donation and encourage everyone I know to give whatever they can.
