CSI is in two places at once! Overlapping trips — a first for our organization!
With one team already in Ethiopia, more CSI "advance team" volunteers are heading to The Gambia. They'll be working alongside local colleagues to provide surgical training and free surgeries for children needing pediatric urologic and general surgery care.
2 countries + 2 teams ➡ plenty of impact ahead. Stay tuned as we share updates from both trips!
Three CSI volunteers are in Ethiopia for another Pediatric ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery Fellowship training trip!
The team kicked things off yesterday with patient screenings, and today, CSI volunteer surgeon Dr. Jon Robitschek and ENT Fellow Dr. Kassaw performed complex midface injury repairs and facial reconstruction for patients who have lived with these injuries for years.
Surgeries once considered too complex to perform in Bahir Dar are now possible thanks to this fellowship program with College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia. The experience and teaching of CSI volunteers, combined with the growing expertise of our local colleagues, are expanding what can be done for children locally.
Children’s Surgery International is looking for a part-time Director of Development (30 hours/week) to join our dynamic team. Based in our New Brighton, MN, office, this hybrid role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact on children’s lives around the world.
We’re looking for a strategic, relationship-driven professional who thrives on collaboration, builds meaningful relationships, and knows how to grow philanthropic support and engagement for a mission that matters.
