Manas Airmen tend to children?s cancer center needs

Kygyz mothers and a young girl with cancer, prepare a lunch of beets, potatoes and raw herring for the children who are recovering cancer patients at Kyrgyzstan?s only Children?s Cancer Hospital, located in Bishkek. One or both parents stay with their child, sharing a single bed with them. To help the families get through the healing, Manas Air Base Outreach Society volunteers visit with the children. On this particular visit, Feb. 25, MABOS volunteers not only gave out toys and played with the children but their handy-work skills were put to use replacing 10 old faucets with new ones. The faucets were donated by MABOS, a private, non-profit volunteer service organization that supports a number of causes in the greater Bishkek area and around Manas AB. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech.
