An incredible experience

That was my first time with Faces of Tomorrow . I joined a group of people most of whom I 'd never seen before. Went to a country I have never been before. Gave anesthesia to children I have never known and probably I will never see again. Left my comfort zone and and went to a faraway country. It was an amazing experience. I can feel the kindness and the love of this group that got together for one purpose to change the lives of a number of children that have been left behind. They have no access to a health care that can fix their problems to make them be normal. I felt the integration of our group to function as one entity not many individuals. We worked without limit for one purpose to make these children feel whole, feel normal like any other peers. The response we got back makes anybody cry. I came back with a better understanding of the meaning of kindness and giving.
