You may never have heard about Childspring International (www.childspringintl.org ), but chances are you have heard of Baby Noor.  Upon discovering Baby Noor (born with spina bifida) and her family in Iraq, a Georgia Army National Guardsman began a process that eventually linked Baby Noor and her family with Childspring International. Through the work of Childspring International, Baby Noor received a surgery that saved her life. Childspring International is an Atlanta based medical charity that arranges for children from around the world with birth defects or other disfigurements to come to the United States for treatment.  Helen Shepard is the Development Director for Childspring International and will share with us her passion for bringing hope, health and healing to these children.
