This is one of our volunteers, Pat, putting a butterfly tattoo on a boy who was recovering from a cleft lip surgery.


This little friend came all the way to Nanchang for surgery but was running a fever for two days so we will not be able to operate this year. It's heartbreaking.





Two of our CCPF doctors, Dr. Tsay and Dr. Wu with a cleft lip patient they operated on.

One of our volunteers, Leslie, plays with a child waiting for surgery.
