CHILD 146

This is 5 month old Aaron from the Azogues area. He was born with such a severe clef lip that he was given a mouthpiece and nasal canula to help him eat and breathe before his surgery.

His parents heard of Dr. Pablo's work with children suffering with cleft lip and palates and he contacted HKIE to see if we would sponsor this child.

His parents are delighted to see their child helped to be able to live a normal life with the ability to eat, breath and speak clearly!

Thanks to all who support HKIE's mission to improve the lives of as many children as possible here in Ecuador.

Friday Dr Pablo Salamea Molina performed the surgery at Hospital del Rio. Thank you Dr Pablo for again donating your services to help these children and to Hospital del Rio for giving HKIE a generous discount.

This is Dayarsi, a sweet 5 year old with a severe lesion on her head.
Dr. Pablo Salamea Molina performed the necessary surgery to remove the lesion that will prevent any serious health issues developing in the future. She is very fortunate this was corrected so quickly!

​Dayarsi's family is very thankful to finally have the lesion removed.

A huge thank you goes out to Kenneth N Lisa Mizell Weaver for bringing Dayarsi to the attention of HKIE.

This is Juan, a child brought to our attention by Rocio and Franny from the CETAP LUCY school. Juan had thrown a bottle into the fire and it had some gasoline left in it....causing 3rd degree burns on his right leg.
Rocio brought Juan and his mother to Dr. Pablo's office at Hospital del Rio to insure that his leg was healing properly. While there is still pain, Dr. Pablo stated the leg seems to be healing well. He prescribed three medications for the pain, itching a...nd healing
HKIE purchased the medications for him and we will have him in for a follow up visit to insure his leg is healing properly.

ORPHANAGE STORY

Update from HKIE
HKIE, Dr. Pablo Javier Salamea Molina, and his group of volunteer doctors, dentists and students (BRAINS) went on a medical mission this weekend to the Olon Orphanage.
These are pictures from day one in which all the children received medical check ups.....height, weight, growth charts, discussion and checking for any medical problems and dispensing of medicines if needed.
...
The children awaited their turns with grins and anticipation. The interaction between the children and the volunteer group was a delight to see. Dr. Pablo declared all the children to be in reasonably good health, with only a few with minor health issues. He stated the best medicine was the love and interaction the children received yesterday and through the daily love and care from the staff and volunteers who help out with the orphanage.
There are two children who came to the orphanage with severe mental and psychological problems. HKIE is working with the orphanage, Sr. Veronica from the Palmar clinic and the Roberto Gilbert Hospital in Guayaquil to do follow up testing and evaluations.
Stay tuned for the second day's adventures......
