U.S. representatives will donate hearing devices and other equipment to School No. 12 for Children with Hearing Deficiencies in Chisinau on May 23. The donation is the result of an American-led international effort of military, educational and private medical entities, with significant private contributions from American citizens. <\/p>\n

Sara Kirby, wife of the U.S. Ambassador Michael D. Kirby, Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Brotherton of the North Carolina National Guard, and Lieutenant Colonel Craig Mix, chief of the U.S. Embassy’s Bilateral Affairs Office, will inaugurate the donation. <\/p>\n

A total of 12 hearing devices and other equipment will be donated to the School’s students, a need identified during a visit to the school by LTC Craig Mix of the U.S. Embassy’s Bilateral Affairs Office. <\/p>\n

Jon Langford from Carolina ENT Specialists, a private ENT clinic in Concord, NC, and the family doctor of the Mix family, assisted by his audiologist Lorin Oden, along with their personal friends Cat and Kyle Rutledge, raised funds in Davidson, NC, to purchase hearing devices for first-to-fourth-graders from the School. The donation was made through the mission budget of Davidson United Methodist Church. <\/p>\n

In a parallel effort initiated by Sara Kirby to help the Chisinau School for deaf children, the Seisen International School in Tokyo, Japan, decided to donate school supplies and materials for vocational classes held at the school. Along with the efforts of their school, 23 fourth-grade students from the Japanese institution fundraised to purchase a digital camera and all the necessary accessories for the needs of the School in Chisinau. <\/p>\n
