Fa’afetai (thank you) for welcoming us Samoa 💙
Thank you again to our incredible partners — local teams, RACS, Kiwanis and the Lions Club — who made this week possible.
We also extend our gratitude to the families who entrusted their children to the care of our visiting surgical team. Their courage and strength were deeply inspiring to witness.
We’ll be sharing more stories from this week soon — follow along for updates ✨

Six‑year‑old Hong was up early and ready for his surgery 💙
He greeted the day with smiles, laughter, and even gave us his best Spider‑Man impression while waiting to head in, with his mum and grandma by his side.
Hong was born with a rare congenital condition called Hirschsprung disease, which has made everyday life uncomfortable and carries serious health risks if left untreated.
Surgery today will provide him more comfort, the ability to have pain-free bowel movements, and a safe and healthy future ✨
