Surgicorps traveled to Zambia in September for the first time. The team knew that most of the surgeries would be burns but little else was known. Surgicorps’ 20 volunteers found a welcoming hospital staff and many patients in need of services. Surgicorps was able to provide 43 successful surgeries to the children of CURE hospital. 

One child was 11 year old Augustine. From the first day of screening his wonderful smile won everyone’s heart.  Augustine had been burned when he was nine months old when placing a stick in a cooking fire. His burn had healed but his arm had adhered to his chest.  Over the years, he had learned to function without full use of his arm. He also learned to smile!
