One of the continuous project of Rotary Club Bogor. The operations were carried out in Jakarta firstly via Sinar Pelangi Foundation. Before the operations the babies and children stayed overnight in SinarPelangi and after the operation they stay there for few days to recover. The Rotary Club Bogor works in this field of charity together with Sinar Pelangi Foundation and the Dutch Foundation Liliane Foundation. Up to 2006 we had sent 17 children to Sinar Pelangi with satisfying results.
On 2007, Rotary Club Bogor has brought over 100 children to Yayasan Citra Baru with the support of RC Jakarta-Metropolitan as well as of some individuals. Cash donation from Oregon Rotarians has been delivered by Rotary Club Bogor to Yayasan Kenari in Bogor which works on the same project. A private company in Jakarta donated some amount of money via RC Jakarta Metropolitan which developed cooperation with Taiwanese surgeons to help more children. Rotary Club Bogor again sent 9 children in October 2008. The project run successfully thanks to Rtn. Taufik Nugraha who is very dedicated searching children in needs and bring them to the clinic. On 17th – 18th of June, 2011 Rotary Club of Bogor together with Yayasan Kenari and Family Medical Center hospital in Ciluar, Bogor held a Social Event on doing Cleft Lip Surgery for babies and teenagers who comes from Bogor marginal areas. The Social Event supposedly aimed to get 50 children operated, but only 32 showed up with their parents and relatives. Rotary Club of Bogor itself sent eight babies and one 17 year old teenager. Unfortunately one baby failed to get into operation table, as he diagnosed TBC. For this matter Rotary Club of Bogor will handle this littleone and arrange another operation for him after he’s cure from his illness. The other patients came from Yayasan Kenari collaborated with Bogor Kabupaten Health Department. The total who got operated is 28 children, as another 3 babies got rejected too for various health reasons. The doctors who did the operations are volunteers from YPPCBL Bandung and dr. Evi from FMC hospital. Yayasan Kenari is funding this surgery with the help from Later Days Saint Charity (LDSC), Mr. Melvin Meredith and Mrs. Meredith from LDSC Utah, USA were there to witness the surgery process. For two days in a row, they did this mass operation. For a token of appreciation, Rotary Club of Bogor invited the doctors, staffs of FMC Hospital and Yayasan Kenari to a thankful dinner on Friday night at Bogor Permai Restaurant (the oldest and one of the best restaurants in Bogor city). Rotary Club of Bogor since 2006 has done this kind of Cleft Lip surgery for children and we are determine continuously to do so, a discussion with FMC hospital director, dr. Rosalina has been occurred that in the future Rotary Club of Bogor plans to pursue this collaboration to get as many as children getting operated there, by the help of Rotary Club of Bogor donator, Rotary International and other personal benefactors.
