Asking GOD for forgiveness for destroying habitat of HIS creatures during construction...

...And praying for HIS blessings as we dedicate the hospital in service of HIS own

Not just coffee and donuts...

Let the light of a lamp illuminate our hearts and minds

A little prayer by children goes a long way

Let the ceremonies continue...
