Do you know anyone that needs cleft surgery?
@smiletrainafrica is offering free cleft surgery to children who need it. Every child deserves a beautiful smile, the confidence to express themselves, and the opportunity to live a full and happy life.
Yesterday, I joined the Smile Train Cleft Surgery Walk to help spread awareness and encourage more families to access this life changing opportunity.
Let’s give more children a reason to smile❤️.

The Best Part of Our Cleft Journey
The best part of our cleft journey has been the strength I’ve found in myself and the advocate I’ve become for my child and others. It has empowered me to help my boy become the best version of himself, teaching him to be both brave and kind. Most importantly, I’m teaching him to love himself.
While cleft is a part of him, it doesn’t define who he is. He is strong, smart, cheeky, athletic, kind, and resilient! His cleft has made him even stronger. Through this journey, we’ve both learned the power of resilience and kindness.
Thank you all for joining us this July in raising Cleft Awareness! @kristinabighill @bighilla44 @cleftglow @tashatindall @hella_dela @crystalleewilliams @hella_dela @jessicastamm_

👀Still looking for the perfect Christmas gift 🎁
Have a look at our two beautiful children books available at our online store in different bundles.
This year the Blissful Cleft Foundation published two books as part of creating Cleft awareness.
Mia Vind Haar Glimlag, is our Afrikaans book where Mia goes on an adventure with Brave and ultimately finds her purpose to smile.
Kai Finds His Dream, is about a strong and courageous little boy finding his true dream and calling in life.
Both Mia and Kai was born with a Cleft lip and are ready to share their stories with you.
Visit our website (link in Bio) for more information.

Ten years ago tell a lot about the story of Ms Ival Joy @realsophisticatedjoy an activist of cleft and palate.
When she was young she experienced a hard journey that she has continuously shared to the little ones having any kind of cleft but amidst the failures,frustrations,immense insurance bills and stigmatization by which she was helped many by her motivational talks this helping in resisting the perception of the mirror plus trolls.
July being a month of Cleft awareness I couldn’t help it to join in and as well appreciate every hand that’s embracing cleft awareness because "MY CLEFT IS MY BEAUTY “
Keep tuned in.

July has ended, and August is about to close too, but that doesnt mean that Cleft Awareness stops there. Sharing this video (even if its already late) to still keep raising a little awareness and info about children born with a cleft. There is always hope 🫶🏼
Thank you, ms @liandrearamos for connecting us with @smiletrainph @smiletrain 💚
Looking forward to future partnerships to make a difference together, one smile at a time.

Cleft awareness — never a hindrance to become beautiful 😍 A little memory lane to my baby girl because as she move forward to the next years of her life, everything will seem like she’s never been in this situation before because she’s growing up so beautifully #cleftbaby #beautiful #challenge #cleftawareness #babywithcleft #presurgery #postsurgery #cleftrecovery
The day they told me my baby was cleft effected will forever be etched in my mind.. everything went blurry, the immediate fears that came swarming in my mind… since that day I’ve worried over many things that we could potentially be faceing very soon.. I’ve never wavered in the favt that he will be perfect no matter what, hes my boy and that’ll never change, and my love has just grown with every passing day. There is a joirney ahead, but we are so blessed that God chose us to be your parents Asher Judah Wayne💜
Cleft awareness is something very lacking and should be made more aware of.. maybe more people would be more kind if they actually knew..
1 in every 700 babies are cleft effected, every 3 mins a cleft baby is born, it is not alwqys genetic, it doesn’t mean the parents were to old or on drugs, sometimes it just happens, sometimes its a lack of vitamins, sometimes its because someone in the family was cleft effected.
Cleft effected does NOT mean disabled. It does NOT mean they are any less than any other baby. It doesnt make them look like an alien. It doesnt mean they matter less than any orher baby, ot does NOT mean they should be aborted or not have a full life filled with happiness. And it doesnt mean God failed them.
July is cleft awareness month, you should start doing research and learning things about Cleft effected babies, children ans adults now so that 1. You can help bring awareness aa well ans 2. Especially if youre going to make comments about them🤍

To all parents of children born with a cleft.
Do not compare yourself to other parents. The journey is not the same. Do not compare yourself to other parents with children born with a cleft. Your journey is not the same.
You are enough and honouring your responses in any given moment, charged and emotional or calm and joyful, and everything in between is authentic and healthy🤍
Follow me for more supportive messaging this coming Cleft Awareness week!! I’ve also got a beautiful giveaway coming tomorrow 🌟🥰🙌

Hi my name is moena rashid and 36yrs ..
I was born with bilateral cleft lip and palate..
Born with cleft condition is not easy life..
Coz ive been through alot
Growing up with people curios about how i looked and would ask alot of question , some hurtful , some not which would almost always embrassed me and make me feel down..
However as i matured, i've become alot more confident coz i realize growing up with cleft by no means is easy but it teaches u soo much !!
Be grateful and thankful to the creator alwaz ..
WORDS HAVE A GREAT POWER THAT COULD MAKE OR BREAK OTHERS..
I would like to do one LIVE session to share bout my life experience , how to handle wit emotions , build confident , and cleft awareness ..
Would u like to listen..??
If u have any people surround u tat cleft lips and palate love to have them in my LIVE too pls spread the love...stay tuneddd...
