Our work is done in Rwanda...until next year



The Operation Smile mission is done here in Rwanda. 248 surgeries performed. Lives changed forever. And so the team sets off for home wherever that is around the world. I am heading to California, but lucky for me I'll be returning in a few months to visit some of our patients at their homes in the remote villages. By then their faces should be mostly healed and their lives settled into a new place in their families and commu nities. This will give me a glimpse into their futures. School, friends, marriage...opportunity.

So now it is off to Nairobi, on to London and then over the pole to Los Angeles and my waiting family. I for one am richer for the mission in Rwanda.
