The local Rotary organization kept track of the patient’s progress and had a partial denture made for her. When the team returned in February 2012, they were excited to see her. “The year before, she was quiet and quite shy,” said Dr. Senders. “She had prayed for God’s help throughout her life and, because of teasing, she had stopped attending school. This year, she was full of smiles and even outgoing. We did another surgery on her palate this year to improve her speech. We look forward to seeing her again next year.” The before and after pictures tell the story: From suffering with a painful disfigurement, she was restored to being a lovely young woman.
