Villagers Shun Baby With Cleft Lip

They called it punishment for the parents’ sins, but then a stranger brought the life-changing news. Read Transcript


ONLY 20 FAMILIES LIVE IN

THIS REMOTE VILLAGE IN

CAMBODIA. THERE A WOMAN GAVE

BIRTH TO A LITTLE GIRL WITH A

CLEFT LIP.

OUR NEIGHBORS THOUGHT WE

HAD DONE SOMETHING BAD IN THE

PAST.

I FELT SO MUCH PAIN IN MY

HEART.

THE ONLY DOCTOR AVAILABLE

FOR MILES TOLD THE COUPLE THE

BABY NEEDED SURGERY AT A

HOSPITAL. THE SISTER BEGGED

HER PARENTS TO GET THAT

OPERATION.

WHEN EVER I SAW MY

SISTER'S

LIP I WANTED TO CRY. I FELT

THAT FOR HER I WANTED HER TO

HAVE LIPS LIKE MINE.

SHE CRIED WHEN HER PARENTS

EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THEY

COULD NOT AFFORD THE SURGERY.

AS VEGETABLE FARMERS, THE

COUPLE COULDN'T EVEN AFFORD

THE BUS FARE TO TAKE HER TO

THE HOSPITAL 75 MILES AWAY.

THEN THEY MET A STRANGER WHO

TOLD THEM THEIR CHILD HAD

BEEN

BORN WITH A CLEFT LIP TOO AND

THEY GOT HELP FROM CBN. SOON

SHE IS ABLE TO GET THE

SURGERY.

I'M SO HAPPY MY SISTER HAS

A NEW LIP. SHE LOOKS VERY

PRETTY.

MY DAUGHTER HAS A FUTURE.

THANK YOU CBN.
