I am in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia , and I spent today at the All Africa Leprosy Education Rehabilitation and Training (ALERT) Hospital. They have 120 beds, but only half of them are devoted to leprosy patients. They do clefts at this hospital as well. I am shown here meeting with who I believe are the only two surgeons doing cleft work in the whole country of Ethiopia (population: 73 million people).
On the left is Dr. Yegerem who recently returned from cleft training in Germany. On my right (his left) is Dr. Tewodros, who was my initial contact for this site. He is an Ethiopian-American who has moved back to Addis Ababa. To my left is Dr. Ruth, who is the administrator of the hospital. I was very impressed with the skill and character of these three doctors. I am not sure if an Interplast surgical team trip will happen, although it is possible. My inspection suggests the hospital is quite acceptable for Interplast’s purposes. There is also the possibility of visiting educator programs in the future. Likewise, we might even get to the point of an surgical outreach center, as both surgeons are quite capable.

This story was so real that these "characters" gave me great insight and a lot to ponder.

There are many people who offer you their personal experiences and you simply choose to ignore them, and in fact are so rude that you do not even respond to a discussion thread created by your very self.
You should listen to what the chemistry professor says about chemistry, not the librarian.
