Operation Smile SA
Braam
Malherbe, Operation Smile SA ambassador says, ‘Due to the unfortunate
disfigurements caused by cleft palates and lips, children are usually
ostracised in their social environments.
Cleft lip repairs can
take as little as 45 minutes to change a child’s life and future
forever. Please Do One Thing (DOT) and help a child to smile.’
Operation
Smile SA has performed over 4500 free reconstructive procedures for
children in a number of African countries to date.
‘We should
all have hope,’ says 8 year old Rafael, who returned from his operation
brimming with confidence, ‘because look at me, anything is possible.’
