Thanh's Story
How Operation Smile helped one boy in Vietnam
"'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."
There are 19 Operation Smile lenses
Throughout the world, Operation Smile volunteers repair childhood facial deformities while building public and private partnerships that advocate for sustainable healthcare systems for children and families. Together, we create smiles, change lives, heal humanity.
