Happy Birthday!
Dr. John Ness celebrated his birthday on our 2012 cleft trip
in Henan Province. Dr. Ness has traveled
to China with LWB multiple times, performing surgery on children born with
cleft lip. His wife wanted a picture of
how he spent his special day healing babies. Originally we were going to take a photo with just a few children, but
the orphanage nannies wouldn’t accept that as they all wanted THEIR babies in
the picture with Dr. Ness. Soon everyone
gathered around, singing “Happy Birthday” in Mandarin, while piling babies on
his lap!
