Dr. Nadia Afridi, Dr. Richard Gillerman, Jose Luis Salazar, Bob Langert at a Press Conference in Quito

Yesterday, Dr. Richard Gillerman and Dr. Nadia Afridi joined our managing director, Jose Luis Salazar, and me, for a press conference at a McDonald’s restaurant in Quito to summarize our wonderful trip. At the press conference, I summarized a couple of my lessons. First, I said if I can return back to my "normal"€ life with just a portion of the humanitarian spirit that this Interplast team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses possess, I would be a very fortunate man. I also learned first-hand the difference one individual can make. The financial support for missions like this are vital, but personal involvement is needed, too.
