Uyanda given the gift of a beautiful smile
Uyanda was born with cleft lip and cleft palate and with the help of Smile Foundation this courageous little girl has had three corrective surgeries over the last five years.
SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Uyanda was all smiles when she met uShaka Sea World’s dolphin, Kelpie on Friday, as part of an initiative by the Smile Foundation.
Uyanda was born with cleft lip and cleft palate and with the help of theSmile Foundation, the courageous little girl has undergone three corrective surgeries over the last five years.
Labello of Beiersdorf South Africa, based in Durban, treated Uyanda, a Smile Foundation beneficiary, by flying her from Johannesburg to Durban to meet the team on her first ever flight. She also visited uShaka Marine World and swam in the sea for the first time.
From June this year, R2 off the sale of Labello’s limited edition Beautiful Smile dual pack goes to the Smile Foundation, an NPO that supports children in need of facial reconstructive surgery, for conditions such as cleft lip or palate, facial paralysis, ear and nose deformities, burns, growths and craniofacial conditions.
A further R1 off every photo or video uploaded to Facebook or Instagram using the hastag #LabelloSmileChallenge will be donated.
The goal is to raise R220 000 for Smile by the end of September 2017, to give other children like Uyanda, who are suffering from facial abnormalities, the gift of a beautiful smile.
