Yesterday after school we all went as a group to the Lady Ridgeway hospital and we got a chance to see some of the victims of this condition and how they had been affected. We were unable to interact with them however because they were very young and some only a few weeks old.
We were fortunate enough to meet the Plastic Surgeon who is in charge of all cleft-palette procedures in Sri Lanka. He approved of ou idea of spreading the word regarding the illness and the urgency of curing it within the first year of birth.

Cleft-Palette second semester
Yesterday, we had our second meeting with our Cleft-palette service group. The group has gained many new members this semester and i feel this is primarily due to them witnessing the success of our fund-raising concert last year in November. During this meeting the previous leaders appointed me as co-leader of the service group. I believe that being in this position will help me spread awareness in our local and greater community.
