Kenya: Taylor Newsom '06 and Megan Russell '12
Two Clemson grads and two Clemson dads were part of a group of six surgeons, one anesthesiologist, two Clemson nursing graduates (now CRNAs) and family members who travelled to Kenya on a medical mission. The group joined with the AIC Cure Children’s Hospital in Kijabe, Kenya, Samaritan’s Purse, and SmileTrain to transform 60 children’s smiles with cleft lips and palates.
