HOW FAR THAT LITTLE CANDLE THROWS HIS BEAM::

Blast victim's final gift (BBC, 22 September, 2002)

A Scots family whose son was killed in a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv have donated his kidney to a young Palestinian girl.

The Maariv Daily newspaper says the seven-year-old girl had been waiting two years for a suitable organ.

The family of Yoni Jesner, a medical student from Glasgow, donated one of his kidneys to Yasmin Abu Ramila from east Jerusalem.

Yoni suffered serious head injuries in last Thursday's blast which killed six other people, including the Palestinian bomber.

So shines a good deed in a weary world. Posted by Orrin Judd at September 22, 2002 7:48 PM
