Operation Smile Honduras, in partnership with Operation Smile, Inc. of Norfolk, Virginia, will perform facial reconstruction surgeries at the San Felipe hospital in Tegucigalpa during February 27 to March 5. The service will be provided free to the public, but potential patients must first be evaluated. Evaluations will be held February 25-26, beginning at 7:00 each morning. Some 80 operations are expected to be undertaken to correct cases of cleft lip and cleft palate. The volunteer mission will be made possible through financial donations from Esso Standard Oil and other companies. This will be Operation Smile's 30th annual surgical mission to Honduras.
