The Rotary District 7430 Rotaplast
Auction is supported by the Rotarians of District 7430 and all proceeds
will go to fund Rotaplast Medical Missions that provide free
reconstructive surgery for cleft lips in children.
Last
year we sent a medical/surgical team to Columbia, South America and the
2011 Auction will help us raise the funds to continue these bi-annual
missions. The Columbia team saw 90 patients and performed 110 procedures
on children and young adults with cleft lips and palates. There were
226 families waiting at the hospital in South America and we could only
do surgery on 90 in an 8 day operating schedule.
"It
was one of the most fulfilling medical experiences of my career," said
Rotaplast Team Member Linda Young of a past medical mission. Linda is
Vice President for Patient Services at St. Luke's Hospital in
Quakertown. "We all worked together with local hospital and health
workers to perform the surgeries in six operating days. The smiles
produced by these surgeries will give the patients hope for their
futures." Young is also a member of the Saucon Rotary Club.
