Zubaida's transformation

A big round of applause to Dr. Peter Grossman, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, for what he accomplished with a badly burned Aghani girl named Zubaida.

After the Iranian doctors sent her home to die, her father approached the Americans.

The amazing transformation can be seen in three photos.

Zubaida was featured on ABC's 20:20 and you can see the video here
and learn the whole story, a great legacy in the making.

The story isn't really about the miracles of medicine and surgery. It is bigger than that, much bigger. It is the story of the human potential to do good, in all of us. It is the story of how we, using the gifts and capabilities we have, can achieve that potential
