STORY OF CHANGE

Priya Mandal aged about 18 months was born

with Cleft Lip, a genetic disorder. As per survey

in India every 600th child is born with this

disorder i.e. either cleft lip or cleft palate.

Priya was referred from our Namkhana center

to CMRI Hospital where free surgery was

performed on her by Dr. Anupam Golash

sponsored by Smile Train Foundation. After

the corrective surgery she is leading a

respectable life.

The most truthful way to serve God is to serve the poorest. Swami Vivekananda
