On 17 July 2011, Facilitators from our 2011: Now is the Time camp and the National Executive Committee (NEC) went to Batam, Indonesia, where a medical mission had just begun! Armed with bundles of shirts for the children, a cherry banner painted by all participants of our camp, and bright smiles, we headed off to Rumah Sakit Awal Bros in Batam. A total of 177 patients from Batam and the rest of the Kepri region were screened on that day so the medical team could understand their conditions better and decide who gets operated for this mission. We managed to visit both the mission hospital and the patient shelter, the Asrama Haji to meet the patients and their families. By the end of the day, a total of 100 surgeries for the upcoming four surgery days were arranged. Read on for a reflection about the trip by Kristabella, President of the OSSSC NEC.
