Giving back with The Little Wings Foundation

This Ramadan we encourage giving back through The Little Wings Foundation. The Little Wings Foundation was founded in 2007 by Dr Marc Sinclair, one of the region’s most prominent paediatric orthopaedic surgeons, with the mission to provide medical assistance to children who have musculoskeletal deformities in the Middle East and North Africa.
