Rotaplast International is a non-profit humanitarian organization providing free reconstructive cleft palate operations and treatment for children in need worldwide. Rotaplast seeks to provide long-term solutions by funding and coordinating surgical missions in developing countries: training and mentoring local physicians; launching public education projects; and advancing research.

In May 2008, Saratoga Rotary Club sponsored a Rotaplast Mission to Guatemala City, Guatemala. We performed 142 surgeries on 116 children who had cleft lips and cleft palates.  Read the article about the trip that appeared in the San Jose Mercury News.  To learn more, please visit srotaplast.blogspot.com.
