This patient in Uganda is 24 pounds lighter thanks to a recent surgery performed by Team Spain!

Let’s meet three students at Jack Van de Wetering School and Orphanage.

They are among many helped by OI’s recent efforts in Uganda, where the severe HIV/AIDS epidemic has left many children without parents or guardians.
