Operation of Hope to Honor Dr. Azizzadeh on October 4th



Operation of Hope, a volunteer surgical team that travels to underdeveloped countries to perform cleft lip, cleft palate, and other facial reconstructive surgeries for people in need, plans to honor one of its members, our own Dr. Azizzadeh at the gala event Night of Smiles on October 4th. Dr. Azizzadeh will be given a VISION AWARD for improving the life of a young boy named Beloved.

Beloved was only 10, a young boy playing in the long grass with his friends, when he came across what he thought was a transistor radio. As he attempted to get a signal from the radio, it exploded. Beloved joined the millions of victims of an inhumane form of warfare: landmines. Local doctors were able to reconstruct his mouth by using a portion of his stomach lining, but for six years he lived with a highly disfigured mouth that had limited functionality. Responding to the pleas of the boy's mother, Operation of Hope transported Beloved to the United States where Drs. Keith Blackwell and Azizzadeh donated their time and talent to perform an extraordinary reconstructive procedure to help his mouth look more normal and function better.

We are proud to work with Dr. Azizzadeh, a plastic surgeon of not just extraordinary talent, but of extraordinary heart as well. Thank you, Dr. Azizzadeh, for your gift of hope that in a world of war where innocents are too often the victims, there are those who seek to undo the collateral damage.
