We are so proud to partner with TESS Unlimited and the comprehensive cleft care they provide to so many Guatemalan children. This week was another amazing mission week and we were so happy to be there to see and be a part of the life changing surgeries.

Thank you to the dedicated medical volunteers who donate their time and talent and travel to Guatemala to provide life changing surgeries for these beautiful children!

We are here in Antigua, Guatemala with TESS Unlimited where 36 babies will receive life changing surgeries this week!

We could not do this work without support from all of you! Thank you.

This is part of the comprehensive care that our partner TESS Unlimited provides to children born with cleft lips and palates. It is more than just a surgery. From the nutritious milk program to get the babies healthy for surgery, to post surgical follow up and care, to speech therapy, dental and orthodontia and support for the family, Tess Unlimited provides long term comprehensive cleft care to their patients long after they receive the surgery.

When you donate to Cleft Care International, you can be sure that your donation goes directly to help TESS UnlimitedUnlimited provide this comprehensive care to their patients.
