This is sweet two year old Yavel who traveled over 12 hours from Carchi Province with his mom in order to have his cleft palate surgery with Dr. Pablo Salamea in Cuenca.
Over a year ago Yavel made the same trip to have his leporine lip repaired.
Yavel is fortunate that now he not only looks better but will also have the opportunity to learn to speak correctly.
His mom is very grateful to Dr. Pablo who always waives his surgical fees and Hospital del Rio for giving HKIE generous discounts and of course, with all the donors who make surgeries like this possible.
