World Journey of Smiles in Full Swing

We are fully mobilized as of today. Nearly all of our team members have begun their travels with many having arrived on site. Our Philippines contingent have screened their patients and have begun operating. As with every visit to our oldest partner country, the need for our services remains high while our partnerships grow stronger each year. While we are watching the weather closely, rains in the Philippines and Vietnam should not affect the safety or conduct of our missions in any way. In the central region, the last cargo snags are being worked out. Full delivery and implementation of all mission site equipment is tracking on schedule. We have had a few volunteer professionals who, for personal reasons, have been forced to stay behind. In nearly every instance, we have found willing and able replacements for those positions allowing us to keep our mission profiles intact. As each day of the mission passes, we remain, above all, totally focused on safe surgery for our children and their families, safe passage for our volunteers and safeguards for each step of the mission process.

More to come soon.
