Operation Good Samaritan Mission Trip Report
Damoh, India, January 2003
By Anil P. Punjabi, MD
A grateful mother with her child after cleft lip repair by Dr. Punjabi at the Central India Christian Mission
"This trip was both fulfilling and tragic. The gratitude of those who received treatment was tempered by the anguish of those who had to be turned away." Dr. Punjabi
Central India Christian Mission motto
"We believe in the wholeness of healing and strive to integrate health care and spiritual nurture. Our strength lies in our dedicated staff of doctors, nurses, and other workers who have been guided by the spirit of compassion and competence."
Pre-op and post-op
"These beautiful and otherwise normal children are ostracized and kept hidden in homes and are not allowed to go out for fear of being stoned and ridiculed."
Thanks to the partnership of Operation Good Samaritan and the Central India Christian Mission, these children now have a greater opportunity for a normal life.
