Smile Pinki

SMILE PINKI, the captivating story of a desperately poor little girl in rural India whose life is magically transformed when she receives free surgery to correct her cleft lip. 

Channel News Asia screened the above documentary last Friday.  In a way, I can identify with the children in the documentary, and yet I am tons luckier.  There are millions of children who are still awaiting treatment, and many of them face ostracization for a condition that is beyond their control.

I just hope there is greater awareness of the plight of these children, and that more can be done to help them so that they have a reason to smile.
