After returning home from South Sudan, I received the top picture via e-mail from our Project Leader in Juba and it brought tears to my eyes. I can't really put into words what it's like to watch these transformations and know that these people have endured so much because of their deformity. This patient, Jacob, almost didn't get his chance, but the plane was able to pick him up after all. Before he left though, his friends covered him in prayer for his journey. I love that his friends were willing to look past his cleft lip and lend their support, and then they were there to greet him when he returned after his successful procedure. Huge thank you to the pilots for sending these pics! It's so great to see things come full circle.
I'm keeping this post short and sweet. The pictures speak for themselves.
