Howdy, my friends.
Please excuse my absence. I just got back from a successful surgical mission in Poipet, a border town northwest of Cambodia. Operation Smile Cambodia and its team of local and international volunteers traveled to Poipet for eight days to provide free surgeries to children and adults alike born with clefts and other deformities.
