As a mum my little one’s smiles are my little pieces of heaven here on earth, I bet it is the same for all the mums out there, but some mums aren’t as lucky, especially those whose children are born with cleft deformities. It must have been heart-breaking for them to see their children this way, + what they wouldn’t give to give their little ones more reasons to smile each day.

I can help them by not teasing them about their deformities and let them know about this event so they can have this surgery for free.
“What can you do to help people with cleft deformities” – my help wud be information dissemination, this might sound simple yet this is an effective way by informing others that we have people “operation smile” that are very willing to help our brothers and sisters who have cleft deformities.
I will make them feel that they are not different from us. Despite of their condition, they should be proud and there’s nothing wrong with it. I will also let them see the brighter and more beautiful side of things
agree with you! 😉
What can I do to help people with cleft deformities is volunteering myself to assist operations since i am newly RN!
that is such a great idea! do share with us your experience in volunteering, right? 🙂
I will start at home by educating my children about people with disabilities not only with cleft deformities. I will tell my kids that we have to treat them equally and not make fun of them.
the only person with cleft deformity i’ve personally met was one of my high school teachers. he wasn’t self-conscious (at least to me he never seemed to be) and he taught his subject well. it was really brave of him to teach HS students. so how can i help kids like my HS teacher? if ever i meet someone else with cleft deformity, i’d let their family know there’s an option for their kid through Operation Smile Philippines.
It’s good to know that there are people like you who support a worthy cause like this and that there are organizations like Operation Smile Philippines that aim to improve the lives of children with cleft deformities. God will surely bless you!
thank you sis, I do hope you join our giveaway, too, + help spread the word! 🙂
I will just talk to them like theyre a normal person and give them inspiration to continue in life.
Hoping for their successful operation and quick recovery. I’ll pray for them and I’ll help spread the word.
thank you so much! ^_^
by treating them as normal people and by spreading word on how other people can support worthy causes regarding projects helping out people with cleft deformities.
make them smile
I think the best way to help them is through promoting their advocacy.. it has no cost at all plus it is a great way of sharing the same values they are promoting.. 🙂
I can help by giving ample information to my readers about it, inform my students about it, and discuss other possible ways to help, among my sisters in our sorority.
by spreading the word!
What can i do to help people with cleft deformities i will treat them as a normal person just like others and i will tell them that they should be proud of and they should not be scared to face people, and they should equally treated like everybody else. Tell them that there are now organizations/ campaigns/operations that helps and improve lives of people with cleft deformities.
I will help spread the word about this operation.
“What can you do to help people with cleft deformities? – HELP.. In anyway.. I wanna start volunteering my time to any group since I have left my job.
i will help them in my own simple ways
i can help people with cleft deformities by informing others about this and accepting and treating them as a normal as we are…
Give them advice that they are born to live happy no matter what deformities god given to them! And as long as they live there is a hope for them to smile better! 🙂
I’ll spread this information. It’s the least I can do for these kids with cleft palate. Thanks for the heads-up.
Motivation and extra care for the people with cleft deformities.
will help spread the word about this worthy cause; for now I can’t personally volunteer as assistant in their operations.
I can help first to my self and the people sorround me in understanding them and not teasing them.
ill help in simple thing.. not to discriminate and bullying them.. that is a big help for them..
I will start spreading this article so whoever person with cleft deformites or person who knows someone with cleft deformities read this , they will be aware about the libreng operasyon para sa bingot at ngongo.
