Hello. I am Bob Langert, senior director of Social Responsibility at McDonald's. I am currently accompanying an Interplast volunteer surgical team to Loja, Ecuador. On this blog, I will share some of my thoughts and impressions.
Pictured here is Pam St. Louis getting 12 year old Saraguro native Lourdes ready for surgery to remove an extra toe (polydacaly). Lourdes is pictured earlier in this blog as well, during the clinic. I talked to Lourdes and her mother Maria later. Lourdes said she couldn't wait to wear shoes and run with her friends.
