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’m so excited my broken Marriage has been restored. “We recently made up, even though it was difficult. It’s been more than a month now, and everything feels like it’s returned to normal. He has begun to treat me better, and it’s been a healing process for both of us. The nightmare that had lasted for almost 2 years before we broke up is finally over. It’s like we fell in love all over again! We’ve both put the past behind us, and are trying to move forward – and for the first time in a long time, the future looks a lot brighter. I can’t express in words how grateful I am Dr Great! It’s like we’ve finally rediscovered those things about each other that made us fall in love in the first place. All of the worrying and stress has simply vanished. Thank you Dr Great for saving my broken Marriage and bringing my husband back to me!”. Me and my husband are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Great. If you have any problem contact Dr Great now and i guarantee you that he will help you contact him through
