In Columbia, four year old Renya Romero receives a staged operation at Richland Memorial Hospital to remove a massive black hairy nevus covering her left face.

The team funds and support come from medical volunteers and First Presbyterian Church shelter and transport, with the Romero family returning to El Salvador in six to seven weeks.
