Pictures of the house where the party for Operation Smile was. This house is where the gentleman who started the Op Smile Paraguay chapter lives. He works for Mobile and is a great guy!!
















Faith enjoying an ice cream cone at the party, she is an amazing person. I will remember her forever. Faith is an excellent nurse and is married to a doctor. Faith & her husband live in a small area of Paraguay by the Brazil boarder. Her husband is the only doctor in a small hospital where he works. Her parents are missionaries and now are working with HIV patients. I will be working closley with her this week and looking forward to it.



















Photo after my power point presentation, Faith translated for me, she is an amazing person.

Out to eat at a private club with the Buzo family.

















Marian (my right) and her sister who came to volunteer. I think Marian said it was a three hour bus trip for her

Checking the drug box we will use in pre and post OP.


















USA team members in the Operating room.



















The food for them was prepared in a large pot for the patients and families by volunteers. The General of the military always tasted the food before it was given to the families.


















Picture of where the patinets and their families stayed during the week. Some travelled a long distance, spending hours on a bus (and not the kind of bus we think of in the states!).
