On the heels of a successful cleft nose and palate surgery for a teenager who traveled from Rwanda to San Francisco earlier this year, Dr. Roy Kim scheduled a trip to Blantyre, Malawi, to continue his medical mission work this summer.

“When you volunteer to help a child whose facial deformities have likely caused him to be an outcast in his community for years, you know that you are giving a life-changing gift."Dr. Roy Kim

But in reality, I have found that the rewards associated with this kind of work are an even bigger gift to me,” said Dr. Kim. “After working with Jean-Claude from Rwanda earlier this year and having operated at Hospital de la Familia in Guatamala in 2004, 2006, and 2008, I am thrilled I got the chance to work in Malawi.”

Dr. Kim traveled with Operation of Hope, a not-for-profit, all-volunteer surgical team that provides free surgeries to children in developing countries who are born with or suffering from facial deformities. Founded in 1988, by retired ear, nose and throat physician Dr. JP Clawson, the team has impacted the lives of over 2,500 children.

Dr. Kim departed on May 30 and returned on June 10, 2012, during which time he performed surgery on 24 children with cleft palates or cleft lips. Cleft palate and lip are variations of a type of clefting congenital deformity caused by abnormal facial development during gestation. A cleft is a gap or non-fusion of the body’s natural tissues before birth. Approximately 1 in 700 children are born with cleft deformities and most can be successfully treated with surgery, especially if performed when the child is still very young.

    Getting scammed online didn’t just affect me financially — it also made it hard for me to trust people again. After what happened, I was scared of being deceived a second time and became very cautious about anyone offering help. Eventually, I decided to contact Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery, and their professionalism immediately stood out. They were honest, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly without making false promises. Throughout the process, they kept me informed and handled my situation with care and transparency. Thankfully, they helped me recover a significant part of my lost funds, and that gave me both relief and peace of mind. I’m truly grateful for their support, honesty, and dedication during such a difficult time.

    I recently lost $12,750 to a fake Bitcoin investment scheme. This financial blow came at the worst possible time, as I was already struggling with cancer surgery expenses. Desperate for a solution, I spent hours researching and talking to other victims. That’s when I found a Google post about FundsRetriever and their outstanding reputation. After seeing their proven recovery record and positive client feedback, I reached out. That decision changed everything. Their expert team helped me recover my stolen crypto. The process was detailed, but FundsRetriever’s use of cutting-edge technology made it possible. I strongly recommend them to anyone defrauded by crypto scams.
