Safe travels to all — we can’t wait to follow your work in the week ahead!

Thank you to our incredible volunteers, partners, and generous donors who made the 61 surgeries performed in Hermosillo, Mexico, last week possible. Because of you, futures are brighter.
The work doesn’t stop there. On Thursday, another CSI team departs for Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, where they’ll provide pediatric ENT and urology surgeries and continue hands-on training with our local colleagues.

Our last day of surgeries in Hermosillo marks a milestone for 8 teens who are receiving rhinoplasty surgery — the final stage of their cleft care journey.
Many of these young people have grown up with our team, returning year after year for each step of their surgical care. Seeing them reach this final stage is a moment of immense pride and joy — for them, their families, and the volunteers who have been part of their journey.
The team heads home tomorrow!
