THE SOUL OF BERIK

He Dr. Weigand has selflessly participated in charitable causes such as that of the young man Berik Syzdikov. Berik was the protagonist of a report titled ‘Hijos de una guerra atómica’. El reportaje, que fue producido y emitido por el programa de TVE On the front page, was especially striking because of the story of this young man deformed by cancerous lumps surely caused by the nuclear tests carried out by the former Soviet Union.

TVE He wanted his relationship with Berik not to remain the mere protagonist of a report, so he allocated part of the money he had raised thanks to the awards the report received to finance an operation for Berik in Madrid.

El proceso para darle a Berik una vida algo mejor fue largo y complejo, y solo pudo culminar gracias a la colaboración desinteresada del cirujano Christian Weigand, de la clínica Ruber, de Mensajeros de la Paz y de la embajada de Kazajistán en España. Este proceso, en el que se relata el tiempo que pasó el joven en España, dio lugar a un nuevo reportaje, ‘The soul of Berik', also produced by the TVE network.

OPERATION SMILE

He Dr. Weigand ha participado en numerosas misiones médicas en calidad de cirujano plástico y reconstructivo. Es además miembro de la ONG Operation Smile (Operation Smile).

Operation Smile, Inc. (www.operationsmile.org) es una ONG sin ánimo de lucro que se fundó en 1982 por el Dr. William P. Magee, su esposa Kathleen S. Magee y un grupo de voluntarios profesionales. Su misión es proporcionar tratamiento quirúrgico e interdisciplinario y mejorar la calidad de vida e integración social de niños con deformidades de labio y paladar hendido y otras deformidades craneofaciales en países poco desarrollados. Operation Smile contribuye además en el diseño y desarrollo de las políticas públicas de los países correspondientes.

Durante los años que lleva constituida la fundación, esta ha ido creciendo constantemente gracias al aporte económico de las donaciones, el trabajo no remunerado de los voluntarios en misiones médicas y los esfuerzos de los miembros líderes de la Fundación. De esta forma, Operation Smile ha podido llegar cada vez a más países y regiones necesitadas y realizar cada vez más intervenciones quirúrgicas a un mayor número de pacientes para que finalmente vuelvan a sonreír.

Desde 1982, más de 130.000 niños con deformidades de labio, paladar hendido y otras deformidades faciales han sido operados en 51 países en misiones médicas por los voluntarios de la fundación. En el año 2008, Operation Smile ha recaudado más de 59 millones de dólares en beneficio de los niños más necesitados del mundo.

Operation Smile ha sido distinguida con numerosos y prestigiosos premios internacionales, reconociendo así su labor humanitaria.
