sapnagroup supports the charity "The Smile Train" with regular donations. They are an international charity that provides cleft lip/palate surgery to those in need, as well as provides training to doctors. So far we have been able to pay for 2 cleft operations. Here is the story of a child we helped:

Sareap Tuy is a 9-year-old boy from a very poor area of Cambodia.

Sareap's family is extremely poor and his parents could have worked for 100 years and still would not be able to afford to pay for the cleft surgery that he desperately needed.

Poor Sareap lived with his cleft for 9 long years, tormented by other children and shunned by his village. He was not allowed to attend school because of the way he looked, because he was a distraction to the other children.

Luckily, someone in their village told them about a hospital that had a free cleft surgery program and they took Sareap to National Pediatric Hospital where Sareap received free cleft surgery on April 2, 2009. Dr. Long Vanna did a great job!

Now, Sareap can go to school for the first time and learn how to speak properly. He's very lucky to have received the surgery he so desperately needed and can now begin a new life.
