Day 4 of our Medical Mission in Biñan, Philippines was a busy day for the team!
The surgeons completed 5 cleft lip surgeries and 5 cleft palate surgeries on 5 boys and 5 girls.
“The Mending Faces mission is truly amazing and life changing," said Joe, one of our volunteers. "It is beautiful work we are doing, simply wonderful. We are in a poverty stricken area of the Philippines and some of these families have taken multiple ferries from other islands just to get here. Handing these little angels off to their moms after they recover, is just so amazing. The parents' tears of love seeing their child's new smile for the first time is a moment I will never forget. One mom gave me the biggest hug and told me thank you for giving them hope and giving their baby hope. The Mending Faces Mission is forever impacting the world and making a true difference. It is an honor to be part of an organization with colleagues who care to make the world a better place.”
