Two PLC Documentarians in the News (VA)
August 28, 2008 by Jeremy · Leave a Comment
In November two documentarians are planning a trip to Iraq to join PLC in telling the story of 3,000 children sitting on a waiting list for the help they need to get outside the country to receive heart surgery and a chance at adolescence and adulthood. The Virginia-based Danville Register and Bee tells their story.

Hope for Hevi
August 18, 2008 by carrie · Leave a Comment
12 year old Hevi underwent a heart catherterization on August 14th that revealed one hole in her heart and an obstruction of the left pulmonary valve. Both of these problems the doctors have confirmed can be fixed, however, she is also missing a left pulmonary artery, which poses a big challange to these surgeons. Hevi and her mom will find out soon what her prognosis will be and how much these surgeons will be able to correct on her heart.
Hevi, and other children like her, arrive at this hospital with huge hopes hanging in the balance. We’re honored to be able to share in brokering some hope for these kids and their families. The funding we provide is able to secure the utmost care and medical expertise available for these children to bring their hopes to reality. So keep spreading the word and partnering with us so that we can see many more Hevi’s and Shkar’s from Iraq live with healed hearts.
Shkar recovering from successful surgery!
August 12, 2008 by bobby · 1 Comment
Shkar underwent 2 surgeries in the past few days to fully correct the problems with his heart. After many long hours in surgery and his mother pacing the halls, Shkar is now recovering and able to walk around a bit. Today, Shkar and his mother called their family back home in Iraq to tell them about the successful surgery. The outlook for Shkar is so bright and he and his mother are so thankful for everyone who has been part of this hope-filled journey!
PLC in Social Cause Diet (Book)
August 10, 2008 by Jeremy · Leave a Comment
Author Gail Perry Johnston is concerned that in our country, where hundreds and hundreds of diet books are produce each year, we continue to grow increasingly gluttonous. Her contention is that most diet books have one major flaw: they are still all about food and the dieter.
This book is about as far away from that M.O. as is imaginable. Her new book, The Social Cause Diet, is all about getting the attention off ourselves and onto to helping others. She maintains that “volunteering is good for your health.” On the menu is an entry by PLC’s very own Cody Fisher.
Check out The Social Cause Diet on Amazon - or just visit our Preemptive Love page to see how you can volunteer with PLC and improve your health!

Website Down/Up/Down
August 6, 2008 by Jeremy · Leave a Comment
Some of you may have noticed that our website has been experiencing growing pains over the last couple of weeks.
We had a crash a few weeks ago which required gutting some of the code and working it back in one piece at a time. In the recoding process somehow I failed to get the header back in there. It was an easy enough fix, except for the fact that our ISP in Iraq has a ridiculous caching policy and I was unable to pull down our website from the Internet proper for a few days… I was only able to call down a lot of cached content from the ISP.
BOTTOM LINE: I couldn’t see that the banners weren’t loading in America and the rest of the world because they were loading just fine for me here in Iraq. Finally, I was able to secure professional help.
Things seem to be mostly fixed now… but as we grow there are bound to be some other glitches along the way. Thanks for sticking with us as we grow up here in Iraq.
Be sure to check out Kids Klash - our major growing pain that started all this mess in the first place!
