Recently, from May 3-12, a special group of devoted nurses & doctors performed cleft lip & cleft palate surgeries on over 50 patients - both young & older, male & female. These surgeries are funded by an organization called Smile Train and take place twice a year here in Thies at the Barthimee Hospital. In order to receive the proper funding, each case must be documented, complete with pictures of each patient before and after the surgery. That is where I come in. I was actually asked to help by taking these before & after pictures of each patient & while I was in the OR, I actually had the opportunity to videotape a surgery as well. It was such a neat opportunity for me & definitely something I never thought I'd being doing here in Senegal! Check out some pics from my time in the OR and some of the people I got to meet and work with.
