On the heels of a successful cleft nose and palate surgery for a teenager who traveled from Rwanda to San Francisco earlier this year, Dr. Roy Kim scheduled a trip to Blantyre, Malawi, to continue his medical mission work this summer.
“When you volunteer to help a child whose facial deformities have likely caused him to be an outcast in his community for years, you know that you are giving a life-changing gift."Dr. Roy Kim
But in reality, I have found that the rewards associated with this kind of work are an even bigger gift to me,” said Dr. Kim. “After working with Jean-Claude from Rwanda earlier this year and having operated at Hospital de la Familia in Guatamala in 2004, 2006, and 2008, I am thrilled I got the chance to work in Malawi.”
Dr. Kim traveled with Operation of Hope, a not-for-profit, all-volunteer surgical team that provides free surgeries to children in developing countries who are born with or suffering from facial deformities. Founded in 1988, by retired ear, nose and throat physician Dr. JP Clawson, the team has impacted the lives of over 2,500 children.
Dr. Kim departed on May 30 and returned on June 10, 2012, during which time he performed surgery on 24 children with cleft palates or cleft lips. Cleft palate and lip are variations of a type of clefting congenital deformity caused by abnormal facial development during gestation. A cleft is a gap or non-fusion of the body’s natural tissues before birth. Approximately 1 in 700 children are born with cleft deformities and most can be successfully treated with surgery, especially if performed when the child is still very young.

I feel so blessed again in my marriage after Doctor Oku brought back my husband that separated with me for a good 3 months. Even though I have mouths all over my body, it won’t be enough to thank Doctor Oku for his help in my life. My husband separated with me for 3 months and has been in pain and agony without him. So, I searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out, not until I meant Doctor Oku who I contacted online. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 48 to 72 hours as long as my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when Doctor Oku said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him… Email: okutemple@gmail.com or whatsApp him +2347053113465
