“Be ever watchful for the opportunity to shelter little children with the umbrella of your charity.”
Uplift Internationale Operation Taghoy Philippines Executive Director & RC Metro Kalibo member PP Megs Lunn, visited last two weeks ago baby Azi (11 mo old), with her parents Joshua (20yo) and Hyacinth (21yo) at Barangay Pusiw, Numancia, Aklan. It is further assessing the kid for the upcoming surgery.
Then last March 18, 2022, she was finally fixed by the local team at our partner’s hospital in Kalibo, Aklan.

TRIVIA: “Cleft lip and cleft palate are common birth defects. They may be caused by a combination of things, like genes and things in your environment, like what you eat or drink and medicines you take. Genes are parts of your body’s cells that store instructions for the way your body grows and works. Genes are passed from parents to children.”
