Lifesaving Nitric Oxide Fund To Reduce Pulmonary Hypertension In addition to being a by-product of cigarette smoke and rush hour traffic, nitric oxide is used in pediatric intensive care. The inner lining of blood vessels uses nitric oxide to signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax, thereby increasing blood flow. By dilating the veins there is less blood returned to the heart, thereby decreasing the heart's work. We've been using this frequently after surgery with our kids and it has been critical to our lifesaving work. Please give today to ensure that these surgeries are not in vain - that we are able to deal with both the cause and the effects of congenital heart disease in these dear Iraqi children.

“Iraq – A New Face” at the Green House Gallery

April 16, 2009 by Scott 

Some of our good friends, Ian (of Wales) and Ben (of England), are helping PLC to launch our global tour of the works of ten Iraqi artists (painters and photographers).  They came to visit in February to help make sure that all of the art would be selected and handled professionally.

The Luton Duo shot quite a bit of their own arresting photography while they were here and they’ve currently got it on exhibit as “Iraq – A New Face” at Luton’s Green House Gallery through May 17th.

For more information on this installation, grab this flyer or visit A Thin Place international artists collective.
