Smiles of India

2009- present time

We found lots of children.

Some days in green

Some days in white

Relaxing some days in colors.

We discovered a beautiful hospital…

With few doctors willing to use it.

We found some old equipment necessary for surgery

We presented Rotary to the administration.

We found one Rotarian located nearby who worked in the Medical-Dental Field.

Willing “Dahlit”-Christian RN’s

And the patients are gathered…

We screened Surgeries, to define the need and surgical timing.
