First pictured is Angelita, just one month old, from Loja. Her cleft lip, palate and nose are so extreme it is very difficult for her to breath or eat. Dr. Pablo Javier Salamea Molina encountered her on our recent Loja mission. Angelita's parents brought her to Cuenca where on Thursday she was fitted with a special plate and nasal canula (fashioned by Dra. Siguencia of Hospital del Rio) to help her until she is old enough for her first surgery at 3 months.
On... the right is 3 month old Dominic who had a severe cleft lip. Also pictured is Dr Pablo explaining to Dominic's mother how the surgery will progress. What a difference between his before after pictures!
Both families expressed their sincere thanks to Dr. Pablo and to HKIE, knowing their children's lives have improved dramatically.
Thanks to all of our supporters, we have been able to help 151 children.
