Laura is 4 years old and lives in Apartado. From birth she was diagnosed with a malformation in her mouth and she recently had surgery to correct her cleft palate. Thanks to all the donors of "Give a New Smile to 20 Children in Uraba”, Laura had a chance for a new life.
Laura goes to daycare every day, she likes to play with her dolls, draw animal pictures and be with her family. Her professors are teaching her to sing, dance and draw.
With the cleft palate surgery Laura's quality of life has improved. The speech therapy enhanced her pronunciation and allowed her to interact more easily with her friends and family.
Laura sends a big hug to all the donors who gave her a new smile!
