Amongst our booked cases, our paediatrician and speech pathologist also conducted health checks on children in the community. During one of these checks, they noticed pellets in this patients ear and arranged for him to be brought to hospital for treatment.

An unexpected finding that required a little extra teamwork from our mission team 💙

This wouldn’t have been possible without Kiwanis and the outreach program they organised ✨

A heartfelt thank you to our patients and their families for trusting us with their care, Abounding In Love , Kiwanis, Adventist Hospital Cebu , our incredible Perth team, non- medical volunteers, local nurses, hospital staff and transportation drivers . Every helping hand, long day and behind-the-scenes effort made this mission possible.

Until the next one! 💙🌈 (surgical posts are yet to come 😉)

We’re so happy to announce that this year marks the debut of our Speech Pathologist! 🗣️💙 Welcoming Cara to our mission team has been a huge success! 👏🏽

Children with cleft palate can experience challenges with speech, resonance and feeding, making early assessment and intervention so important.

We’re so grateful to have your expertise as part of our multidisciplinary cleft care team, helping give our patients the best possible start. 💙✨

A meaningful visit to the Carmelite Missionary Youth Group alongside our Speech Pathologist (Cara) and Paediatrician (Emma) 🤍 An opportunity to connect with the community and provide multidisciplinary care, while also identifying any health, developmental or speech concerns that may otherwise go unnoticed. 🩺🗣️✨

Big thank you to Kiwanis Club of Cebu for organising this outreach program! 🤗

Bridging the gap around the world, one mission at a time 🌏 Meet Jaimie, President of Operation Rainbow 🌈

Jaimie is currently the CNM of PACU at Perth Children’s Hospital. With over 20 years of experience as a paediatric nurse, she has also served on surgical missions for more than 8 years across the Philippines, India, and Mexico with Mercy Ships and Operation Smile.

Beyond the clinical impact, Jaimie continues to volunteer 1–2 times a year to help bridge the gap between children living with treatable conditions and the lack of equitable access, infrastructure, and healthcare workforce.

Without access to essential surgical care, children born with cleft palate can experience feeding difficulties, speech and hearing challenges, social exclusion, bullying, and reduced opportunities in education and employment throughout their lives.

Operation Rainbow would like to thank Jaimie for generously contributing her skills, experience, and compassion to this organisation.

See Jaimie on screening day August 8th 2026 (details on our previous post)

Help us raise funds for our upcoming mission in August and support all future missions — together, we can help bridge the gap. 👇🏾

A smile can change a life. ❤️

Just look at Jenisse. Ten months after her lip surgery, she is smiling with confidence and hope. This August, she will return for her cleft palate surgery with the Operation Rainbow Australia team.

Many families cannot afford the journey to surgery, even when the surgery itself is free. That's where Abounding in Love steps in.
