Cleft Lip Surgery Report of Phea Pharny

Mrs. Nary was in despair when she realized her baby girl; Pharny was born with a left-cleft lip. Her other four children, a son, three daughters were normal. For many months, Mrs. Nary and her husband worried and wondered what their bady’s future will be. They wanted Pharny to look normal and beautiful like other Cambodian girls. It would be difficult for her to find a husband they thought.

The families of seven are staying in relative’s house. No rice field, her husband earns two dollars a day doing coolie in village. Mrs. Nary hardly remembers a time when there was savings in the household. They did not have money to get Pharny cleft lip’s surgery. Mrs. Nary burdened for her children’s future, was there hope in midst of their problem and poverty?

One day they met local pastor who was visiting her village, they heard CBN’s cleft lip project. This brought new hope to Mrs. Nary and Pharny. Pharny met CBN’s staff and they arranged for Pharny’s free surgery in a hospital in Phnom Penh.

Little Pharny is all smiles. Her parents and grandma are very excited for her. Mrs. Nary expressed her gratefulness “I would like to thank CBN, OB and donors who provide this help. Pharny looks beautiful now. Thank you!”
