We've had a few busy stays getting established and screening potential patients for surgery. Our Jamshedpur hosts, the kids, and their families are terrific! Unfortunately, we haven't screened as many patients as we had hoped for. We have currently evaluated 89 patients, with 72 patients scheduled for surgery. We planned for at least 125 cases, and hope more candidates will arrive during our surgical week. We will set-up our operating rooms, a.k.a. "theatres" today, and will begin our surgical week tomorrow.
India is a special place. The people, the culture, the geography, the food, the colors, and the aromas are quite captivating. Everyone has been welcoming and hospitable. It was a lot of fun screening our potential patients. The children and their families are very happy.

These are some of my new friends. We couldn't do our work without the help of the local volunteers. As you can see, I fit right in. Hmmmm, why does everyone stare at me?
