With her dual cataracts removed, nine-year-old Monique once again sits proudly at the front of the class she had to leave behind three years ago. The once shy and withdrawn little girl, who was slowly losing all ability to see, can now stare boldly into her future with a smile.

Same dress; same shoes; different future awaiting her! Justine was the first patient up the gangway on hospital opening day - and over five months later, she’s walked back down those steps for the final time with the brightest smile on her face. #globalsurgery #motivationalmonday

We are so excited about our first surgery onboard the #AfricaMercy in Senegal! Little Saliou underwent surgery for his cleft lip and is now one massive step closer to healing! We will bring you updates as he continues his journey!

Helping the blind see is serious business, so we're glad that our eye team found some time to be goofy. We have so much respect and gratitude for our #volunteers who offer up so much to help us bring hope and healing!

Burned by battery acid when she was just a baby, 18-year-old Assiatou has felt the effects every day of her life. She says this opportunity to receive life-changing surgery on board the #AfricaMercy “feels like a dream.” #globalsurgery

Simon is our youngest crew serving in Cameroon. At just 18, he serves as a receptionist: “I knew I wanted to be a part of a mission that would enable me to help other people and grow as an individual, learning more about the world, other people, and myself.

During his 20 years working as a #nurse, Amadou has helped hundreds of people in his community, despite suffering from a tumor for the past decade. Now, he will receive the surgery he needs so he can continue treating those who need his help. #globalhealth

We praise God for our orthopedic patients, who have all had surgery and are now beginning to walk with straight legs and have their casts removed. A few have already been discharged to return home and start their new lives!

Just in case you missed our earlier tweet. Same dress; same shoes; different future awaiting her! Justine was the 1st patient in Cameroon and over five months later, she’s walked back down those steps for the final time with the brightest smile on her face.

What’s it like to see again after years of darkness? Words can’t describe it – but Kabir’s chuckle can. “I see everybody." - Kabir #sight
