Thanks to the efforts of Food For The Poor (Guy) Inc (FFTP), two children from the hinterland have been afforded life-changing surgeries to correct a congenital condition.
The FFTP in a release yesterday said that under its Benevolence Programme, the two children, Brianna Charles, and Dave Charles, were able to access transformative cleft lip surgeries that were performed on January 13, at the Dr Balwant Singh Hospital, in South Cummingsburg, Georgetown.
Brianna, who is two years old, lives in the remote village of Tabatinga, a developing Amerindian community west of Lethem in Region Nine, while Dave, who is 11, lives in the remote village of Moco Moco, also in Lethem, Region Nine.
