My son Nathan was born with a cleft lip and palate and thanks to the NHS he received the best possible care and surgery 3 months after he was born.  

In many parts of the developing world there are children just like Nathan who don't have an NHS to rely on.   Without medical help simple activities like eating, drinking and breathing can be difficult and many of them will even face a life of exclusion, discrimination and abuse.  

A pretty simple operation with the help of Operation Smile can transform their chances in life, give them a future and help them show the world their very own smile.  

I want more children around the world to have the same start in life as my beautiful boy.
