Operation Tuli by SAS Batch '88

Here's another late post. The continuation of the Medical Mission. 

 

A month after the Medical mission, Operation Tuli was successfully held last April 21, 2012 (Saturday). It was organized again by the alumni of St. Anthony School batch '88. This time they needed a lot of volunteer doctors and nurses for this mission. My nephew Darren is part of a rescue team in Makati that is why he invited some of his teammates to the Operation Tuli. 

At first, we watched the demonstration by the doctor, we then went to our stations and assisted the other doctors that will perform the circumcision. A lot of boys aged 10-13 went to the said program. We have performed circumcision to a total of 88 boys. Some of them cried while others bravely bear with the operation and some still managed to smile after.

I realized that this part of their life is an important chapter for them. As we interview some of the boys, most of them were happy because they wouldn't be teased anymore by their big brothers or other playmates while some of them are just glad they have managed to survive the operation. :)

 Here's a picture of us after the Operation tuli with my two sisters, Darren along with his team mates. We were busier this day than the previous Medical Mission. After we have finished an operation, we'll just change the equipment then we prepared and set up for another operation. We barely rest for a few minutes for our lunch break then its game time again. :)

It was very tiring and fulfilling at the same time. :)
