Discovery Channel
During our 2006 mission to Quito, Ecuador, a team from the Discovery Channel traveled with MMFC to film a documentary on cleft lip and other corrective procedures performed by our team. On site, they witnessed the great need of the local communities, seeing that despite the mountainous terrain, some families travel for two or three days to wait in line at Fundacion Tierra Nueva Hospital, with the hope of finding reconstructive care for their children.

The Heights, the Official
Student Newspaper of Boston College, published
an article called “Taking part in the mission”,
in October. "They were just so welcoming, right
from the start, so warm and caring and you could
tell that these people were just the most genuinely
giving people. There is no way that you can't want
to help them after meeting them," says Martinelli. Click
