Chalene Seregaza is a child with another one of those melt-your-heart smiles! A month ago, however, her smile would not be the first thing to grab one’s attention. Eight year old Chalene had a tumor growing in her nose (Picture 1). 
On the way to Bible Class one morning, it was noticed that Chalene had an extra piece of skin protruding from her nose and was only breathing properly through her mouth. She was immediately sent to Doctor Dibona, who works at the center. He took her straight to the hospital. When Chalene had surgery to remove the tumor, a second tumor was discovered in the other nostril, and also removed.
Chalene was in the hospital for two consecutive days and then returned to the hospital every day for a week. Doctor Dibona visited her each day to assist her with medication. Chalene has now recovered and is back in school, showing off her healthy smile! (Picture 2)
