etc...
these were what we've just learnt this morning, in 3 hrs of symposium...
Went through many pictures of babies that were born with abnormalities..
It was depressing to see a few months old toddle was bruised from multiple surgeries that he/she has to go through.
It was so painful to hear that a few year old girl can finally give her 1st beautiful smile after countless surgeries, while more surgeries are still awaiting for her as she grows older.
Many of them didnt manage to get treatment because of poverty or lack of access.
Some babies cant even make it to see the world b4 they leave....
Can u imagine how much they'll hav to suffer just to smile and laugh happily like every other kids?
It says:
In every year, 4,000,000 children are born with congenital anormalies.
In every 2.5 minute, a child with craniofacial anormalies is born...
What can we do?
