We're Home, Let's Go Back!

Mission Peace 2007 is over, but the results represent significant changes in many lives. The team screened 74 potential patients and did corrective surgery on 31 individuals. In the case of the adult patients, this work will enable them to better function in the changing environment of Vietnam. In the case of the children, this work will remove, to some extent, the stigma of growing up with a deformity.

Although this year's trip is over, the need remains and we therefore must begin our effort to gather the resources for the next mission. These trips are made possible by the contributions from the members of the team but more importantly through the donations of caring people.

Instruments and materials are donated by companies and institutions that have access to or produce the products used during the actual operations and/or supplied to the patients in post-op.

As a way of saying Thank You, we have elected to list the contributors to Mission Peace 2007:
