2008 Sichuan earthquake

Over 70,000 people were killed in that quake, which left anywhere from five to 11 million people homeless. On a personal note, SJ Creations’ Chinese factory is nearby, and Ming, one of its workers, has a home in Sichuan. Thankfully Ming, and his family, survived the devastating earthquake.

Project Healthy Baby
IRT has also joined forces with the Project Vietnam Foundation to save newborn lives by bringing its highly successful Project “Healthy Baby” program to Vietnam. Project Healthy Baby was created to provide a program that would focus efforts on reducing the high infant mortality rate through education on site and through satellite operations. The program is currently being implemented in Vietnam with the support of the IRT.The number of Vietnamese babies who die during their first year of life is alarmingly high. Most of these deaths occur within the first 24 hours of life!
Vietnamese officials estimate that more than 40% of newborn death is caused by the inability of the baby to breathe. Through Project Healthy Baby, Vietnamese doctors and nurses who care for newborns are learning how to effectively resuscitate babies experiencing breathing difficulties or other medical emergencies that demand instant and effective intervention.
