From Beverly Kent,
Director of Volunteer Services (September 23):
We have arrived safely in Bamako last night. Unfortunately,
six pieces of baggage got held up in Paris. Air France has promised to get them
to us by tomorrow. Despite that, today
was our first clinic day and we’ve already seen 100 patients and scheduled 41
surgeries. Tomorrow will be another full day at the clinic. The surgeons on this team are very good about
seeing everyone and gently letting down those we can’t help. The team is simply
great! We are keeping our fingers
crossed that the missing luggage makes its way back to us by tomorrow.
This trip is the first trip sponsored by the Ronald McDonald
House Charities (RMHC) to leave this year. Interplast is grateful for RMHC’s
continued support in empowering communities and changing the lives of children
throughout the world.
