Gwapa

As many of you know, last January, Kate, Abby, Jessica and I had the amazing good fortune to help out the Faces of Tomorrow team with their medical mission in Tagbilaran City right here on our very own Bohol. An incredible team of dentists, surgeons, nurses, speech therapists, and more swept into the provincial capital, set up shop in Borja Hospital, and spent one grueling week repairing over fifty cleft lips and palates, thereby fundamentally and permanently changing the lives of dozens of children and their families.

Now, what you may not have known is that among that team there were also two documentary filmmakers following the story of one family in particular - and family in which three (yes, three) of the children had existing, untreated facial deformities.

I am thrilled and honored to share with you the link to the trailer for the upcoming short documentary Gwapa, shot by Med Pinsonneault and Sabina Padilla.
