At seven years old this sweet little girl from Cochabamba, Bolivia had never uttered a word. She could only make sounds due to a congenital palate abnormality which her family couldn't afford to have treated. Using local contacts, HTC identified two highly respected Bolivian surgeons who donated their services for the two surgeries needed to treat Fatima. HTC paid for her hospital bills, plus travel for her and her mother to Santa Cruz where the surgeries were completed. Fatima is now undergoing speech therapy in Cochabamba and fine-tuning her newfound voice!
