Data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information show more than 130 &to=http:// english.pravda.ru/culture/2001/08/30/13768.html' target=_blank>adults and children are desperately waiting for new hearts.

Over the last 10 years, 375 Canadians died waiting for a heart transplant.

According to the All Africa News, the love in his eyes is almost tangible as kidney donor Jeffrey Molaolwa relaxes in his 10-year-old daughter Patience's ward in Red Cross Children's Hospital.

The father and daughter have plenty to smile about. Patience's life has been saved by one of her dad's kidneys - and she has gained a little brother, who was born early today in Kimberley.
