January 7th Christmas celebration with the staff, our patients, and their families!

In Ethiopia, we celebrate Christmas on January 7th. Here's some of our staff singing silent night!

Counselor Kebede was a part of our Christmas skit!

All of our patients received Christmas presents from the staff. Here's Nurse Tizita distributing them!

When kids come to CURE Kenya, they find good friends, like Peter and Mike did! (Elvis Lemaiyan)

Peter the Cleaner met Peter the Smile Machine. Patient Peter was in pain, so Peter the Cleaner gave him a balloon to help distract him. (Elvis Lemaiyan)

Gates are for keeping people safe, but they also double as jungle gyms. (Naphtali Foster)

Our OPD (Outpatient Department) is where we see patients, but it’s also just a fun place to hang out. (Naphtali Foster)

Stephanie is clubfoot-free after years of Ponseti treatment for years, and she’s finally discharged and free to just live her life. Now that’s something worth jumping about! (Naphtali Foster)

If you asked Pamela, she’d tell you life, balloons, and friends are fun! (Naphtali Foster)

We see you, Joseph! (Naphtali Foster)

Stephanie was hiding under the blanket as she waited for her cast to be removed, but she came out for some photos. (Naphtali Foster)

It’s rare to see kids smiling after surgery, so we were glad to see Alex giggling.

Arianne comes in for a follow-up. While she waits, she’s back to coloring, one of her favorite things to do in the playroom.

Johan & John- It’s so good to make new friends when going through treatment!
