Join us on a journey into the heart of the Smile Foundation, an organization reshaping the lives of children with cleft lip and palate. Sylvia, a brave mother and Gauteng- coordinator for this incredible foundation, opens up about her own child's journey through multiple surgeries, highlighting the need for awareness and support. We delve deeper into the foundation's work, from various campaigns to their pivotal support for burn patients, and their quest to expand services to more clinics and hospitals.

Sylvia's personal story is a catalyst for a broader discussion on the need for collaborative efforts in providing comprehensive care, particularly in impoverished communities. How do mothers feed their babies with cleft lip and palate? What role do medical professionals play in the success of surgeries and post-operative care? Our exploration doesn't stop there. We discuss the Smile Foundation's upcoming programs and the ways you can lend a hand. We confront the harsh reality of costly dental care and emphasize the importance of advocacy, of being a voice for the voiceless. So, buckle up and join us for an episode packed with information, inspiration and a call to action! www.smilefoundationsa.org
