Rotaplast in Colombia, with Quilts!

FINALLY, some good news from Rotaplast.  The medical team has just returned from Colombia where they repaired clefts and changed lives.  They also gave a hand-made comfort quilt to each and every patient they treated.  I'm sure all these quilts were happy to be released from their storage facility and finally put to work! What a joy to see a lot of happy faces, and our quilts in action.

Please look at https://rotaplast.org/blog/ where you will find many quilt photos. I would encourage you to read all of the posts as the writer gave a wonderful description of what's involved in preparing for, and accomplishing, one of these missions.

I would like to make special note of Dr. Angelo Capozzi, co-founder of Rotaplast, retired plastic surgeon and veteran of 72 international missions (58 with Rotaplast).  I am in awe!!  I don't know his age, but know that he graduated from medical school in 1960....a remarkable man.

Thank you to all our quilters who have helped brighten the days of others.... please keep quilting!

Gratefully,

~Ann
