Our largest aid projects<\/a> for children with congenital cleft lip and palate<\/a> in South America are located in Bolivia<\/a> and Peru<\/a>. Four local NGOs working with us in Bolivia and two in Peru, together with their local surgeons, specialists and therapists, make the medical help that is so vital for our little patients a reality. Our South America manager Stefanie Huter lives in the region and accompanied our partners in Peru, Team Qorito from Lima, led by Dr. Alberto Bardales, on a mission with a speech therapy camp in Cuzco, Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to our Team Qorito from Lima, the renowned speech therapist Mar\u00eda Del Carmen Pamplona (Maricarmen) from Mexico City arrived to participate in this outreach with her assistant Ana. She is giving a three-day workshop in which children who have already had surgery are evaluated and divided into three groups. Maricarmen and Ana work in parallel with the different groups. A total of 44 patients participate in the intensive workshop. On the first day, a long line forms in front of our orthodontist Yanira\u2019s office. Many parents have come to the evaluation with their cleft children from all parts of the country, some with the hope that their little ones will be operated on, others because they want their children to have speech therapy with Maricarmen Pamplona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
