Name:
Roth Haksary

Date of Birth:
05 / 11 / 1990

Interests:
When I leave, the thing about Sunrise I will most miss is the children.

Ambition:
I want to be in an office on a computer like Mr Soth.

Progress:
Funding was raised for Geraldine to take Sary to Adelaide, where she had a spinal fusion operation to ease her scoliosis and now her back is much straighter and this operation has added years to her life.

Until early 2001, Sary could only get around in her wheel chair or on all fours like a dog. Not any more! We were able to get an operation on her hips and she now walks upright in calipers and a brace.

The first day she returned to the orphanage after 3 months in physiotherapy and walked through the gates, there wasn't a dry eye in the house! She is one of the most unforgettable characters in the whole group.

Her playing improved so much that she was in our orchestra and played at the Adelaide Festival in 2002.

Sary was lucky enough to go to Australia in 2005 for a Back Fusion operation on her spine to cure her scoliosis and also benefiting for 2 months at a local primary school before returning to Sunrise with Geraldine in June.
