$250.....

Vietnam - Thanh

"Sut" means split lip and is a terrible name for a child. But for the first nine years of my life, that's what I was called by everyone in the village. Every day, the cleft lip I was born with caused me pain and humiliation. On my first day of school, the other children taunted me so mercilessly because of my disfigured mouth that I refused to go back. It seemed that my whole life would be ruined by this curse.


Then, Operation Smile came along. During the mission to Vung Tau, Vietnam, I received a new smile, new friends, and reclaimed my birth name, Thanh, which means, "Blue Sky." Now, the sky's the limit for me. I have returned to school and to life, and the future is filled with sunshine.

Did you know that for $250 dollars you can make this happen for a child, yes thats it $250, think what the last thing you spent that much money on.  I know what I did but I won't let it go to waste this time.  Please join me and help these children. They need your help.
