Exciting Follow-up Report for Lina!

Remember Lina? We are delighted to share followup on this adorable little girl! Our SOAP team met sweet Lina last year on our visit to KCMC. She had a horrible infection of her tibia that had destroyed most of the bone (this is the shin bone—required for walking). Dr. Casey was able to surgically use Lina’s fibula (the smaller bone in her calf) to reconstruct her tibia! These pics are from when we met her last year: And look at Lina’s video now! She is a busy 2 year old who is WALKING! This would not have been possible without her successful surgery!

Thank you so very much, Friends of SOAP, for your support of Lina!

The Walk to Work. We’ll keep trying to show some scenes from a basic day. This is our morning commute - about a 1/2 mile walk. In the morning, you can often see Kilimanjaro and it’s a great stat to the day!

Welcome Dr Casey to KCMC. Dr Casey is a pediatric orthopedist and returns to her 4th time to KCMC. She hit the ground running and is seen her in clinic talking with a family about a benign froth on the son’s leg. They were relieved to learn they would not need surgery! The residents here love her great lectures!

Dear Friends of SOAP-

We hope you and your family had a memorable Thanksgiving to get ready for the holiday season!

Let’s Celebrate Giving Tuesday!

What better way to start the season than supporting a good cause? We know that your charitable monies and time are being pulled in many directions. If you have room in your charitable giving to support SOAP, that would be awesome! Even if your charitable giving is already spoken for, please continue to follow SOAP as we work to educate young surgeons and improve patient access to care in Tanzania.

SOAP is excited to plan our first traveling fellowship for 2026. We hope to begin a recurrent observational fellowship bringing young surgeons from KCMC to several medical institutions in the United States. Early groundwork has been promising and we hope to select our first fellow during our trip to KCMC in February 2026. Our 2026 trip is our biggest yet! We will be there for 6 weeks and have returning and new surgeons traveling with us.

We are pleased to announce that the container of surgical supplies SOAP compiled has successfully reached KCMC and this week we received pictures of the new operating room table in use!
