<![CDATA[Smile Bangladesh - Khulna, Bangladesh - March 2018]]>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 04:57:44 -0700Weebly<![CDATA[That’s a wrap!]]>Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:31:53 GMThttps://www.smilebangladesh.org/khulna-bangladesh---march-2018/thats-a-wrapSmile Bangladesh #21 has come to an end and what a mission it has been... 43 lives changed for the better!

The last day of surgeries consisted of nine cleft lip repairs and one palate. Then, the team reconvened to start the long journey back home to begin planning for the next mission in November.

This couldn’t be done without the support of our donors, hosts and volunteers. But most of all, we are eternally grateful to our patients and their families for allowing us the privilege to perform surgery on their cleft deformities. Thank you!!

The team is nearing the end of the mission but not before completing another 12 hour day comprised of 8 cleft palate repairs. Surgeons rounded this morning to find that the children are all doing very well and the impact these procedures have on the families is priceless.

Tomorrow will be another amazing day of 11 cleft lips planned before the team begins the long journey back home.

It was the number of lives improved and smiles perfected. The team is really going strong and tomorrow will be no exception - palates will be worked on!

The team has made it to Bangladesh and is on their way to Christian Service Society Hospital in Khulna today. Everyone met for a group breakfast this morning and to go over logistics during the mission as well. Then, the team boarded a flight to Khulna with a bus ride after to CSS.

​We are hoping for a very productive trip that will put us at the 1,400 case mark!
