Our medical mission for Operation Smile is going well here in Rwanda. In the last two days over 372 people with cleft lip or cleft palate have been screened by the international team. Most of these are children with cleft lips, but there are adults, too, up to age 80.
Last night the surgery schedule was prepared and today it will be announced to the waiting crowd of hopeful families. The good thing is that more than 200 will be able to get surgery this time. The bad/sad news is that the rest will be turned away to wait for another opportunity for surgery, hopefully next year. There will be many unhappy families.
