Day 1 of surgeries was a success! Hear from CSI volunteer surgeons Dr. Luke Jakubowski (right) and Dr. Tyler Schwartz (left) and ENT Fellow Dr. Kassaw Ketemaw (middle) as they share a quick recap.
The bottom inset photo is of a baby girl Dr. Schwartz met during Saturday's prescreening. At just 1 month old, she has a cleft lip and palate and was struggling to gain weight. When Dr. Schwartz shared his concern, Dr. Kassaw smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I can give her a specialty bottle from CSI.” Our volunteers and partners went the extra mile, purchasing a supply of formula to support her nutrition. While she wasn’t ready for surgery this trip, she’s on track for a safe repair soon thanks to this early intervention.

“We were very shameful about the baby's cleft before surgery, now we are proud and we feel very happy about the surgery. We would like to thank you very much.” Parent, Ethiopia
