The Big Shoe project thanked Ozil on their official Instagram page and shared several photographs from their work in Myanmar.
Dr. Herbert Bauer and his team from Interplast Sektion Stuttgart Münster were responsible for carrying out the operations.
Big Shoe is a global charity helping disadvantaged kids with life-changing medical operations for cleft lips and palates, cataracts, heart defects, burns and more.
The playmaker of Turkish origin has been involved in the charity since 2014 when he took on the 11 children who needed surgery during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
