Channel 7 News has broadcast a wonderful story about 19-year-old Pulei, who has been brought to Australia for surgery on her face.

Pulei was originally seen by a visiting Interplast team last year in her homeland of Tonga, and referred for treatment in Melbourne, through our partners at Children First Foundation.

She had her operation last Saturday, led by volunteer Interplast surgeon Dr William Blake and his team at Cabrini Hospital.

Watch the story here.

We look forward to sharing more of Pulei’s story with you as she recovers from this life-changing operation.
