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 know this may not be the right place, but I just want to use this medium to share my story and help others who might find themselves in a similar situation.
    In 2022, my best friend introduced me to a Telegram platform where she was successfully trading Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, making over $85,000 in just three months. Encouraged, I invested $25,000, saw a 30% ROI in my first month, and withdrew $10,000. Feeling confident, I upgraded to the premium plan and invested an additional $65,000. My investment grew to $350,000, and I decided to withdraw the funds to buy a property.
    However, the platform demanded an unexpected 25% commission, which was not in the original agreement. I managed to pay 20%, but they continued asking for more. When I couldn’t pay, they closed my account and stopped responding. My friend and I reported the incident to the police, who informed us that the company was based in India and that they would need to involve Interpol. After waiting three months with no progress, my friend found a blockchain recovery expert.
    Contacting them was the turning point. Within two days, they arranged a trial deposit, and the next day, I received a full deposit of $430,000, including all bonuses. They saved my investment, and I promised to share my story to help others in similar situations. Their communication was excellent throughout the process, and I highly recommend them.

    If you’re not familiar with cryptocurrency trading, I strongly advise you to either stay away from it completely or invest very cautiously. I was forced to invest a significant amount of my life savings on a forex platform to increase my profits, but I ultimately lost roughly 95,000 USD to this investment scam. I was not allowed to take my money out after I had invested and made a profit. I sent a letter to customer service, but it was ineffective, so I realized I had been duped. I was fortunate enough to come across a genuine deal retrieval WEB WIZARD after much looking for ways to acquire assistance. I decided to give it a shot and explained my condition to them. they gave me their word that they would help me get my money back. Honestly, they performed a fantastic job, and my money was recovered in my wallet in less than 24 hours without any upfront payment. I appreciate having encountered WEB WIZARD with such exceptional abilities, it’s truly remarkable.
