8-year-old boy, who was left severely disfigured by a chimpanzees attack, undergoes a rare facial reconstruction surgery in the United States. Doctors at the Stony Brook Children's Hospital are restoring Dunia Sibomana's lips to allow him to eat, talk and smile more easily. Dunia is also staying with a host family in Long Island and going to a local school there.
