Currently, we are focusing our efforts in Santiago, Dominican Republic where a total of 94 children have been corrected in four years; 34 during our four missions and 60 by the hands of the Dominican surgeons, utilizing the techniques learned during our mission trips. One of our organization's number one goal is the education of the local doctors and medical staff.
