Our August mission trip in Yuxi was a blowout success. We identified 30 poor children with congenital heart disease and found good surgical care and financial support for their treatments. All these kids, thanks to you our donors, are on their way toward a long and healthy life. In August, we were lucky to have help from two cardiologists from Yunnan Province Fu Wai Cardiovascular Hospital.
We also had a pediatric cardiology expert from Texas Children’s Hospital, Dr. Judith Becker. Dr. Becker not only supervised and taught the rest of the team, she also mentored our student extern, Ms. Emma Duan. Emma, a high school student from Maryland, was our student extern in August and told us that she had the learning experience of a lifetime because of the inspiration she received from Dr. Becker and the rest of the team. Here I introduce our August team and some of the kids we helped.
