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.
