Dear friend,

In India alone there are millions of children who are forced to spend their whole lives disfigured, handicapped and marginalised due to severe cleft lip and palate. These terrible facial deformities are often found in China, South America and Asia. Yet very few of us here take any notice ...

My foundation, CCI Cleft-Children International, offers disfigured children a way out of their hopeless and degrading lives. In India alone, where we successfully set up our first four 'cleft centres', we have accomplished over 10,000 surgeries. This doesn't include the thousands of follow-up treatments, orthodontic-, therapeutic- and psychological procedures. In same country, we have also trained over 100 doctors, nurses and speech therapists as a means of passing on our knowledge and expertise to the less developed countries of the world.

Spend some time learning about our worldwide humanitarian initiative, probably the only one of its kind, which allows us to give a happy life to children who cannot eat or drink, speak or even smile due to an oral-facial cleft. Your donation can also help finance a child's operation. In return you'll receive the best gift a saved cleft child can give: his or her first smile!

With the warmest regards,

Prof. Dr. Dr. Hermann F. Sailer
