Day 71 - March 12, 2013

Second day of surgery week for Operation Smile. For a little while in the morning, we actually had a quiet ward...but not for long. About 40 patients had surgeries on their cleft lip/palates today.

Day 70-March 11, 2013

Operation Smile Mission in Antananarivo. I helped out as a translator for this 10 day mission. Day one of surgery had a full schedule of 40 cleft lip and palate surgeries. It included my favorite new friend, Sitraka! She was the cutest kid I met all week, but unfortunately couldn't get surgery because she was sick. Hopefully she will come to the next mission in September! As much as I wanted to take her home with me...I thought her mom might be sad and so I decided a picture would have to be enough.

Side Note

I hate not finishing what I started...but my camera was stolen so I can no longer take a picture a day...BUMMER. I'm just going to take a break for a few weeks...and then I'll get a replacement! I might need to rename this the 365(-40) project, but we'll see when I get a new camera!

Day 31 - January 31, 2013

I'm no meteorologist....but this doesn't look like a sunny day ahead! 

And, on another note....Happy birthday Dad, from across the world!

Day 30 - January 30,. 2013

Part of a mural at the PC training center. Especially fitting for the day since a cyclone is heading our way in the next day or two. Tropical storms....not my favorite. 

Day 29 - January 29, 2013

Even in bad weather, the PC training center is beautiful. 

Day 28 - January 28, 2013

Self-timer pictures are funny. Hanging out with a cool group of volunteers at a Training Design and Management workshop at the PC training center.
