The text:

1-Wanjiru Mauine, the three-year-old girl, sits patiently on her bed, gazing at the
unfamiliar medical equipment surrounding her. Born with a cleft lip, she is among the
fortunate few to be treated at the Kenyatta University Hospital in Nairobi, thanks to
the kindness of medical volunteers sent by charity Operation Smile.

2-Her treatment is free of charge. The charity advertised its visit last January and word
spread fast. Charles says: “I’ve been fixing bicycles and doing whatever jobs I can find
to come here. I want my daughter to be able to speak correctly so she does well at
school. I’m proud to have earned the money to do this for her.”

3-Operation Smile was created in 1982 to correct facial deformities in children. Since
then, the charity has become a global organisation and now has 5,000 registered
medical and non-medical professional volunteers, deployed in many countries. It has
treated more than 100,000 children in 25 countries. Each volunteer commits two
weeks of his time and pays £300 to join a project. Cleft lip affects around one in 500
babies. In Britain, infants are treated soon after birth; however, just one in four receive
medical assistance in the developing world.

4-Wanjiru’s surgeon , Ankur Pandya, undertook his first Operation Smile mission a
year ago and has completed three more since. His own successful battle with cancer
prompted him to help others unable to obtain medical assistance as easily as he had. “I
received a lot of medical care and support from friends and colleagues in the medical
community. Ever since, I’ve been committed to giving something back,” he says. “The
time I saw Wanjiru and her father, after the operation, tears of joy welled up in his
eyes.” “My daughter will now have a good future,” the father said. “She looks
completely different. I’m looking forward to showing my wife her new smile. She
won’t recognise her.”
Despite her pain, Wanjiru managed a cheery smile, her first of many.
