NARRATOR: When [INAUDIBLE] sent his son off

to school each morning, he knew what the boy would face.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

INTERPRETER: I worried because people mocked him.

The kids said, look, here come Split Lips.

And they made fun of how he talked.

NARRATOR: Muda is the only child in his school

who has ever had a cleft lip.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

INTERPRETER: I always wanted my lip to be fixed.

NARRATOR: But Muda is brave and knows that staying in school

is vital to his future, no matter how he looks

or how the cleft palate affects his speech.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

INTERPRETER: I love learning our language,

but I want to speak clearly.

I even want to speak in front of other people someday.

NARRATOR: In Indonesia, cleft lip surgeries

usually cost around $1,500.

But even with both parents working,

they only earn $7 a day.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

INTERPRETER: I had made him a promise,

and I was fighting for him.

So I went looking for help.

NARRATOR: Then one day, [INAUDIBLE]

was listening to the radio.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

INTERPRETER: I heard that CBN was doing cleft lip surgeries

for free.

All I needed to do was sign Muda up.

NARRATOR: So [INAUDIBLE] brought his son to the hospital,

and CBN set up the surgery.

Today, [INAUDIBLE] can't get over the change in his son.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

INTERPRETER: Before, Muda was shy and didn't

want to go outside to play.

But now, he is excited to show his friends his new lip.

He smiles all the time.

I am so grateful.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

INTERPRETER: I dad says I look handsome.

I'm not ashamed anymore, and I have lots of friends.

Thank you, CBN.
