Every surgery, every training, and every life changed through Children’s Surgery International begins with volunteers.
April is National Volunteer Month, and it’s a special time for us to celebrate the extraordinary people who give their time, expertise, and heart to care for children around the world.
Our volunteers travel to provide life-changing pediatric surgical care. But their impact reaches far beyond the operating room. They teach, mentor, and partner with local medical professionals so that children can access safe, specialized care well into the future.
Without volunteers, CSI's work would not be possible — their generosity and compassion continue to bring hope and healing to children, families, and communities worldwide. 💙

A masterpiece will come to life before your eyes — and you could take it home.
Internationally awarded artist Kelly Schamberger will complete a one-of-a-kind painting live at the Be the Light Gala on Saturday, May 2.
Inspired by a photo taken in Ethiopia during CSI’s October surgical training trip by volunteer nurse Emily Fox, the piece captures three young girls, arms around each other, radiating joy.
Fun fact: Kelly’s work has even traveled to the moon as part of the Lunar Codex with NASA and SpaceX. 🌙
